THANKFUL: Thankful for a successful surgery. Thankful that I’ve been able to return home. And thankful for all of your love, encouragement and prayers. I’m going to take the time I need to fully recover. Thank God I can now see the other side of this journey. ❤️
It’s never a “Happy Memorial Day.” This day is hard for me.
I miss my brother terribly. He was a soldier, Apache Helicopter pilot & amazing father. Please remember the true meaning of

Please don’t wish everyone a “Happy Memorial Day.” While I know you mean well, this day is actually very somber. It's meant to honor fallen service members and is a hard day for families who are left behind (like mine). Remember the true meaning of

This moment brought me to tears. Yesterday, my daughter (unprompted by me) walked up to a veteran and said “Thank you for your service.” He said it’s the first time a child has ever said that to him. We owe them so much. 🇺🇸 I hope you all have a great

Happy birthday to my grandmother who’s 99 years young! She celebrated with her friends… and even FaceTimed with my daughter who is her namesake. I can’t imagine all she’s seen in 99 years. So thankful to have her. 💕

As a reporter, no matter where I go or what city I’m in... I always see a random abandoned weave on the sidewalk. Whose hair is this rolling around North Philly like a tumbleweed? You know what, this calls for a new hashtag...

“He was scared to death of water.” 13yo Chase wouldn’t have done this three weeks ago. But w/ a free program from Nile Swim Club in Yeadon, he’s swimming like a fish! So important for inner-city kids who are less likely to know how to swim.
