Bob,
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt words and experience. I’m so glad you have good friends, family, and fond memories to lean on. Wishing you the very best.
Mark,
Pushing ourselves to build those friendships is so important for men, and you gave a great example. That feeling of an empty house is exactly what I feel when Rachel is away, too.
Ed,
It’s so true—it takes moments like these to realize just how much we rely on each other and what our widowed friends go through. Hope Sharon’s mother is doing better.
Dana,
I feel the same way about my wife. I worry more about how difficult life would be for her without me than I do about myself. Still, I think she’d probably be better equipped to carry on without me than I would be without her. Kind of strange for me to say, since I spent most of my adult life single.
Catherine,
I really like your point about ‘just-in-time’ financial literacy. Some lessons only become meaningful when life gives us a reason to apply them.
Donny,
So well said! Success looks different for everyone, and it sounds like your sons learned the value of hard work and dedication directly from you. You must be incredibly proud.
Mark,
Thank you for the comment. I couldn't agree more—many of the best lessons in finance and in life are remarkably simple, even if they're not always easy to follow.
