Charlie, I always like your work, but today's newsletter is brilliant. You tell a poignant story and, contrary to what some of the other commenters are saying, I don't think you're preaching or proselytizing. You're just giving one family's perspective and giving us all some things to think about.

To be honest, I would almost certainly not have made the same decision you did if I had been in your shoes as an equally immature and irresponsible 19-year-old, and I don't think I'd advise either of my kids to make the same decision you did. But that most definitely does NOT mean that your story and perspective haven't moved me and -- dare I say -- perhaps made me a smidgen wiser for having read it. This is precisely the sort of thoughtful and balance work I so appreciate in the Bulwark. Thank you, Charlie.
