What a treasure it is that I still hold tight this sweet memory of my dad. I hope all the dads and father figures out there took the time to make new cherished memories!

This week I received a message through IG from the parent of a student from in Milton, MA. She shared that her daughter had been spreading my message of love and resilience and sharing details from my story of survival. Thank you for taking the time to let me know I’m making a difference. It means the world 💜

When a student says, “Your story changed my life”, it’s a reminder of why I speak to students 5 days a week… even at 91! Mutual admiration fills my heart… and so many wonderful birthday surprises 💜

It was another great week filled with warmth and so much gratitude. “I promise to keep telling your story”. Magical words that remind me why I continue to speak to over 5,000 people each year.
