I will never forget what it was like coming out and having nobody to look up toward.

If I do a good job, people won't care if I am green or have three heads.

I personally will never forget that people are more important than buildings.

I stand for all those who feel that the government no longer understands the individual and no longer respects individual rights.

I never imagined that divorce would be part of my life history or my family's legacy. When people say that divorce can be more painful than death, I understand why. But like any great trial, God uses everything for good, if we allow Him to heal us.

For reasons I can't remember, my family eventually stopped attending church, and I started questioning the Catholic Church's beliefs. I dabbled a little, but nothing stuck.

Social media reactions to celebrity death have taken on a predictable pattern: an outpouring of shock with expressions of grief, followed by a ghoulish need to know all the details, to see the scene of the death and the family in mourning. Then a post-mortem dissection of all the perceived flaws the celebrity had.

I'm happiest with my family around me.
