Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run.

Before the Civil War, there were no national cemeteries, no processes for identifying the dead in the battle. There weren’t any dog tags, and there was no next-of-kin notification.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother.
