"The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don’t. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself."
"The bride and groom stood under a canopy, and the prayers were in an unfamiliar languages. At the end, the rabbi had the groom stomp on a wineglass wrapped in a napkin. “May your marriage last as long as it would take to put these pieces back together”, he said. Afterward, when everyone was congratulating the couple, I sneaked underneath the canopy and took a tiny shard of glass from the napkin where it still lay on the grass. I threw it into the ocean on the way home, so that, no matter what, that glass could never be reconstructed, so the couple would stay together forever."
