All Who Go Do Not Return (45 page)

My mother, Bracha Din, has endured much in her life, but her spirit remains one of the strongest, noblest, and most gracious I have known. My siblings, Chani, Avrumi, and Mendy, have shown me nothing but love and acceptance. I know it couldn’t have been easy, and I am grateful all the more for it. Much love to you all.

I cannot know what my father would’ve said about my path in life, had he lived. No doubt, he would’ve been troubled. No doubt, he would’ve loved me as fiercely as he always had. He would’ve called me
shayfele
, even now. His memory is always with me.
