Thankful that @thatdamntyson & sweet baby Tyler are accustomed to waking up to a world of my tears.
Yesterday I said we drowned together and we are finding our air together.
I cannot say enough about the strength they brought to this dream we had for our community.

I've been inspired by @nestergirl2 since I moved to West Virginia, but over the course of working on this story, she's become a friend and a mentor to me as a woman working in this industry. @thatdamntyson is so humble, creative & smart. I feel lucky to know them.

It was wonderful to have the talented @AP videographer (and WVU grad!) @p_orsagos working with me in West Virginia on this story. Chris Carlson's photos are fantastic, as always. And thanks to @BarbaraOrtutay for her thoughtful editing. I work with great people!
