I dedicate this book to Anne Heyman, my wife and my soulmate.
The girl I fell in love with at 18 and whom I remain madly in love with
and miss every minute of every day. To the miracle Anne created and all
our remarkable kids from the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village who make me
proud every day and who are shining examples of all that is possible if you
give kids a home, a family, love and an opportunity to learn.
To Anne's family, now my family, for sharing Anne with me and
with whom I share all the wonderful things that are Anne. To my most
incredible family, my mom and dad, my brothers Sam and Jeremy, my sister
Esther, my nieces and nephews Maya, Ariel, Ben, Jacob, Isabel, Charlotte,
Noah, and Nathan, my brother-in-law Moishik, and sisters-in-law
Linda and Holly, and to my unbelievable kids Jason, Jenna, and Jonathan,
all of whom helped me get through my darkest hours, who held me together
and made me stronger, and for whom I aspire to be the best I can be.
