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.
“I get her in the car and I said, ‘Good job mom, you did great.’ She replied, ‘It was loud. I know they heard me yelling, ‘Get me the hell out of here.'”
“I didn’t know or realize or want to see that just because we’re a forever family doesn’t mean that the past won’t be a part of that forever.”
“In high school, I was healthy. Then suddenly at 16 my world turned upside down. I began dating my high school boyfriend. The beginning was like a whirlwind. I felt so in love, I was positive I’d spend the rest of my life with him. I’d like to say everything was his fault, but we were both to blame. I was suffocating but couldn’t imagine living a life without him.”
“I could not stand the thought of my son asking what happened. I am now able to feel that I am worthy, I am loved, and that my purpose is to care for those I love.”
“Hearing the words depression and anxiety can be very overwhelming.”
“I realize what a gift this moment is. The gift of time, time with my mom. I soon realize this is one of the most beautiful mornings I can remember.”
“I didn’t fall into the category of being married, and I didn’t fall in the category of being divorced, but by God, I was going to honor him. And, I was going to remember him.”
“Losing a parent young was like being pummeled by a tidal wave. I didn’t know who I was becoming and often wished I could just take. it. all. back.”
“Becky’s groom surprised her by flying Jacob up to Alaska to stand in as a groomsman, carrying Triston’s heart.”
“‘Neil needs a kidney.’ I felt my heart drop into my feet as I replayed the last few months. Walking through our children’s school, she made the comment that she was so stressed it made her head itch. ‘What could possibly make you that stressed?’ I asked. I cringed as I remembered the last joking message I had left her.”
