To my family: my siblings—Erica, Ian, Chris, and Izzy—thank you for your love and support. Here’s to many more years of celebrating nothing and everything as only we can do. To my parents—Umma, Mama Joon, Baba Joon, and Dad—thank you for a lifetime of love and guidance.
To Omid, Julie, Navid, Jinda, Evelyn, Isabelle, Andrew, Ella, and Lily: thank you for being there through every joyful event and for weathering any storm in the best way possible: together.
And to Vic: It doesn’t matter what path we take up the mountain. It only matters that you are there with me.
