Good morning Quote by Noah Galloway

“I just wrote as much as I could for several pages. Every night I wrote her novels and every morning I mailed them to her.

“I was just beginning to wonder how long I would have to wait when finally a guard sauntered up and said, “Galloway, get your stuff, get your bed.” I ran to my cell to get my stuff and I grabbed the toothpaste.

“The show went live and we all filed out and sat down. The anchors started asking questions and I think they asked me what I hoped to get out of the show. Without thinking I said, “I just want to make my kids proud.” I didn’t plan that answer, nor did I plan to get all choked up about it…
