fortunate enough to lead a life of service by working with those most
vulnerable makes me well aware of life’s blessings, even when faced with
difficulties.

recognizing that this is a significant change, my children remain at
the center of my life and their well-being is my top priority.
‘It
is in this spirit that I sincerely ask that their privacy and the
privacy of our family be respected during this transition in our lives.’
