Thanks to my parents, Bill and Elin Buchanan, and my sister Doe Buchanan, for their support from afar; and my sister Jessie Buchanan for her support from up close. Thanks to Steve and Nurit Binenbaum for being there through what was a difficult period for all of us, for their generous gifts of time and of food, and for their fine grandparenting over the past almost two decades; and to Gil Binenbaum for his friendship, medical advocacy, and co-parenting. To Emi and Nate, I love you both more than you can possibly imagine. I am so lucky to be your mother.
