But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.

I have an obligation to try to live as long as I can for my family.

I grew up in a Navy family.

It's just a part of our nature to hope.

We have a middle class that lives on a razor blade. So sometimes when you say poverty, you neglect a large portion of the population.

I have a lot that I intend to do in this life.

I am imperfect in a million ways, but I always thought I was the kind of woman, the kind of wife to whom a husband would be faithful.
