  "account": "On Labor Day 2000, the author left his life behind to become a husband and father. After resigning from his job at Facing History and Ourselves, he eloped with Dunreith Kelly and Aidan at Northampton's Look Park. The ceremony was designed by Dunreith and him, and they chose a spot under a tree with three branches. Aidan tossed boxes to them, and the author placed Dunreith's ring on her finger and Dunreith's ring on his. They exchanged vows with Pablo Neruda's love poem XVII, reciting its lines about love that knows no boundaries. No camera was present, so their memories are all they have of that day. Though details have faded after 26 years, the feeling of home transcends time, as they continue to build a life grounded in love, justice, and shared experiences.",
