"If my story is about anything, it's about family. I haven't been very lucky in the romance department.

Several years after my split from Tony, I got married again, but that relationship didn't work out. Maybe my luck will change in the future, but even if it doesn't, that's okay.

It's okay because I've been blessed with a family that I love more than words can ever convey."
