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 would rather be the one that died protecting my friends than have an entire class die and I be the only one that lived.”
“After a 12-year-old girl was horribly bullied on Valentine’s Day, my son wasn’t having it. He asked if he could do something for her.”
“All of them came up with their own fun and creative things to do that I probably never would have thought of. I love how kids can refresh my creativity and my soul, all at the same time.”
“Target was an ideal location because there was so much to hold Keira’s attention. When her mobility was better, she loved to wander (or sprint!) up and down the aisles of the store.”
“Deployments on children, on a family, is never easy. As an adult we find ways to relax and cope, but for children we need to find a different way to help them cope and relax.”
“We’ve learned to love the last name, not only because we have our own theme, but because no matter where you go, people hear your last name is Batman and then it’s the, ‘wait, what?'”
“We give tests. I get it, I really do. They have their place. But when I look at Valeria’s drawing, I can’t stop thinking about how important it is to remember that our students are so much more than a numerical snapshot.”
“Just know, I love you,” the frightened younger brother texted as the gunman was on his rampage.
“My husband and I disagreed on adoption for years. We met at a restaurant to eat lunch and he struck up a conversation with her. She mentioned she just wanted a family to adopt her. That was it. Her reaction was more than I ever hoped for.”
“I asked him if she was bothering him, and with a somber face and watery eyes he said, ‘No, no. I lost my dog last night.’”
