Jonathan - when I opened the HD this morning and saw your news, I cried out "oh no!" I too have been reading you since your column in the Wall Street Journal back in the 90's. I was so upset when the column was no longer in the paper. I can't tell you how many of those articles I cut out and kept for later. I understand what you and your wife are going through. In 2015, my husband was diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis which no one had ever hear of either. We live in a small town in Wyoming but we went to Mayo Clinic, the University of Colorado, University of Utah, and finally to Cedar Sinai in CA to try to get him a new heart. He was unable to get a good heart, so we pretty much gave up. The disease stiffens the heart muscle and it is a fatal disease. I lost him on May 22, 2021 and my life has changed so much. We were high school sweethearts and were married for 55 years. We were saving the money we invested to travel the world. We were able to take quite a few trips, but then he became too sick to travel. I decided to use the money to take some of those trips and went to Peru, Ecuador and Egypt so far. I know he would want me to do that and I feel he is with me all of the time. I am happy that you have such a great attitude and hope for the very best for you. It is hard being alone, but I don't think I would ever want to be with anyone else. I am sure your wife will feel the same way. Good luck and thank you so much for all of the wonderful information you have shared about investing. Peace be with you. Thank you so much!
