This piece by Peggy Noonan on the demise of the Washington Post is worth your time. I gifted it so you can read it. “Finally, losing the one major newspaper left in the great nation’s capital—and during the Trump administration no less, during a time of the easy abuse of standards and traditions, of inching up to and then inching over the law, in a pattern that promises not to get better but worse—is more than a Jeffersonian nightmare, it is a kind of sin. The kind history doesn’t easily forgive.” wsj.com/opinion/a-lame…

This description is all to familiar for families like mine who have watched a love-one deteriorate quickly in overcrowded hospitals. My father struggled with delirium and never recovered after his experience, dying with stage 4 bedsores.

@Jleerankin Thanks Jim! Still figuring out next steps, but writing is definitely part of the picture. All the best to you and Michelle.

@citizenduffy Wow, Andrew, this is lovely, and what a piece to end your days as a staffer. Hoping you continue to write. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Cheers, Jim

@joe_warmington Thanks Joe, that’s way too kind. Hilarious about Clancy: the guy knew how to tell you the kind of truth that made your eyes water.

This is a national newspaper award-winning story, which would be so perfect if it’s really your last. It’s a sensational read, chronicling a sensational career. Congrats on all of it. I laughed because Clancy said the opposite to me – learn to write better and don’t rely so much on your reporting lol

The greatest gift of my career was meeting Jonathan and Tina.

@BoileauTina Thanks so much Tina. It was the greatest honour of my career to meet you and Jonathan.

Congratulations Andrew! You’ve always approached your stories with such care, humanity, and insight. Thank you for being such an important part of Jonathan and my journey. What it means to be a journalist: The Newspaper Life | Ottawa Citizen - goo.gl/alerts/KJSWtX #GoogleAlert

@citizenduffy Thank you Andrew....for all your words and stories over the years. And most of all, for introducing all of us to Jonathan with your incredible story. Hope whatever is next for you is amazing.
