I am so thankful for my incredible husband, who called 911 within minutes of the onset of my stroke - who slept with me in a small hospital bed all week - and who held my hand for every early morning round of bloodwork.
Feeling tired, bruised & so lucky for this life and manโฅ๏ธ
It has been a scary, long & difficult week, but

Iโm so proud of how strong she has been.
On a stretcher - waiting for a CT scan - doctors said "you've had a stroke."

Fellow reporters:
Never forget to thank your photographers for everything they do. Mine just got our LIVE truck up a highway ramp that was essentially a sheet of ice. I was freaking out. He was calm and successful.
Photogs are the real MVPs.
I'm not from this city, but I love this city. This morning, I'm sad for it.
The chaos and violence overnight was devastating. People injured, properties destroyed, businesses looted. An eye-opening experience in my reporting career.
Thinking of you,
#Providence

โLove you Terrence.โ

This is difficult to watch. Iโm glad this reporter appears to be somewhat ok.
A thought โ Instead of building multimillion dollar TV studios, why not hire photographers? This is a problem in ALL news markets, not just in small towns.

This visit meant so much. My Mom Mom has been quarantined at her nursing home for 7 months. As someone w/dementia, the isolation has been detrimental. We wore masks, and we couldnโt hug her, but it felt great to be with her ๐(upon returning to Mass, I got a negative COVID test)

I'll never forget going to church the night of 9/11. Every pew was filled. People were sitting in the aisles and on the altar. I suppose we were all there looking for answers. Some peace, maybe comfort, in an uncertain time.
