As a Digital Editor of Love What Matters, I'm here to pull on your heartstrings and make you smile. After spending nearly six years as a Digital Reporter for ABC News' "Good Morning America," I'm thrilled to continue sharing touching and inspiring stories that the world is so craving. We can all use more love in our lives -- now you've found the perfect place to get it.
“We have been avoiding tears. Always. Because of her 5-year-old daughter, because of hope, and friendship too.”
“With both excitement and sadness, I emptied the last of the things in my classroom today, locked the door, and turned in my key.”
“It all comes down to one thing: Never give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about.”
“The one thing we didn’t get right was eating.”
“We’ve battled life together. We are finally on top of our mountain, and it’s taken 17 years to get here.”
“Life is short; you never know what tomorrow may bring. And thanks to my three beautiful children, I have learned to live life to the fullest, finding hope and happiness every single day.”
“I’d never seen it before. It was nice. ‘Well, it’s for you…’ I didn’t understand. My dad had been dead for almost 9 years. There’s no way this was from him. When he was still in the Marine Corps, he’d met with my dad. At this point, I couldn’t see, silently crying. This must’ve happened before I even graduated high school.”
“I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t ask to cry myself to sleep every night. I didn’t ask to be verbally abused, nor did I ask for a mother that had not one nurturing bone in her body.”
“For those who were wishing to say goodbye, I’m so sorry. This all happened so much faster than we expected.”
“How many times in a day do you tell your child to ‘hurry up?’ Did you ever just STOP and try to get inside their head?”
