Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts put rumors about her sexuality to rest after expressing gratitude for her “long-time girlfriend” last night on Facebook. There was no big speech, explanation or moment – just a mention of her partner, named Amber in a post that featured a picture of Roberts three months after her bone marrow transplant. It read as follows:
Flashback 12/29/12….Hard to believe this was 1 year ago today…when I reached a critical milestone of 100 days post-transplant…and KJ was finally allowed to come back home.
Reading this comforts me and I hope the same for you: “If you …are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”
At this moment I am at peace and filled with joy and gratitude.
I am grateful to God, my doctors and nurses for my restored good health.
I am grateful for my sister, Sally-Ann, for being my donor and giving me the gift of life.
I am grateful for my entire family, my longtime girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.
I am grateful for the many prayers and well wishes for my recovery. I return every one of them to you 100 fold.
On this last Sunday of 2013 I encourage you to reflect on what you are grateful for too.
