I'm not sure any introduction to Feynman can be complete without this letter he wrote to his wife: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/02/i-love-my-wife-my-wife-...

(Warning: you may end up with something, ahem, in your eye...)

oh man, the postscript. :(

I've read that letter at least ten times. The last five or so times, I've patted myself on the back for not crying, until I get to the postscript and then... off I go again.

Thank you for this. I've never seen it before.

I'm curious about how the letter was found after his death. Who decided to make it public? I'm glad I had the opportunity to read it, but I doubt it was ever intended to be released to the world.

Thanks for looking after the ten thousand.

Oh, I had googled him but didn't expect to be this guy. He actually did a lot of accomplishments. Definitely not a wasted life.
