Post Views: 184 Anna grew up in an orphanage, where love was something hoped for, not promised. Her only constant was her best friend, Lila — two girls dreaming under threadbare blankets about one day having a real home. When they aged out of the system, they built their own kind of family in a […]
Post Views: 913 When Susan Boyle stepped back into the spotlight, it meant far more than a singer simply returning to perform.

I told myself it was natural—our son was growing up, and sometimes boys lean […]
Post Views: 46 and a familiar face on football broadcasts. What he kept private until recently was one of the most difficult challenges he has ever faced, one that had nothing to do with the field.
