Dear Jonathan, I want to say thank you for a lifetime of thoughtful personal financial advice. You and I are almost exactly the same age and I started reading the Wall St. Journal at the age of 30 right around the time you started writing for it. I read your columns constantly for decades and took many of your recommendations. Today my wife and I are retired (mostly) and comfortable if not wealthy. Oddly enough, I just found out that I too have cancer! Your writing continues to engage and inspire me and others with its candor and its unflinching understanding of the human condition. You've made a measurable difference with your work. Isn't that what we all hope for? I hope that the time you have remaining is more than you expect and that whatever it is, is filled with love and meaning and little discomfort.
