I feel so much for my colleagues and friends. I hope at the very least that I can vacate some space for some youngsters.

My DMs are always open to young journos. Dream big.

And my family just avalanched me in hugs as I dissolved into floods of tears after pressing send on this tweet. Goodbye @abcnews

My thanks to everyone who has commented on this thread or messaged me. I’m deeply touched.
