I’m totally blown away with these loving videos. I can’t even say what they mean to me.
Glennon, “Love Warrior” was an important book in my life; I got a signed copy and read it in a day straight, flying to NYC. (Bawling.) Abby, I’m a big soccer fan/mom, too!
Thank you both. https://t.co/rQ6lBhkLp2— Julie Rohr ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °) (@JulieRohrYEG) September 14, 2021
