Hey @roelandp, Sorry about your friend's mom, I hope he is going to be okay. My family will be praying for you and his family. I really think steemit is an extension of my family and hope to get a chance to go to SteemFest since I have never been before. Since I'm new I'll have to research on how to attend or get an RSVP, however I'm really excited to meet you and my fellow steemians. =) Hopefully, my humble UpVote will help contribute. Cheers.
Mark
