This was in the NYT over the weekend. Michael Chabon is one LUCKY man, and from the sounds of it - so is Ayelet. A wonderful love story indeed........
UPDATE: Please read the above link to Ayelet Waldman's article in Salon. As perfect as her most recent article sounds, she has been dealing with a chronic bi-polar disorder and the article includes this telling exchange:
While my son Zeke knew that I was in a fragile emotional state during the period before I wrote the suicide post (it might have been the constant crying that gave me away), he was not aware of the extent of it until he overheard someone discussing what I wrote. He did not react then, but I knew there was something wrong. I sat him down and explained what had happened, that I had been taking the wrong pills and that my doctor had fixed my medicine. I asked him if there was anything he was afraid of. He looked at me, his deep blue eyes full of unshed tears, and said, "I am afraid you're going to kill yourself."
