ABC News reporter Roberts isn’t always one to gossip. “I don’t like recording,” she explained. “If you just call to say, ‘So, what’s up?’ No, I don’t like it.” However, everyone’s favorite TV weatherman is a telephone expert. And after years of getting irritated with her frequent calls, a friend suggested something that changed her stance. “
A friend said to me, “Have you ever thought that maybe he feels comfortable when he hears your voice, because it tells him that all is well in the world?” » she said. “And I thought, ‘That’s very nice.’ I never thought of it that way. And if it means something to him, then it should mean something to me.'”
Now, she said, “I’ve learned to breathe and say, ‘Honey, I have stuff to do, but what’s wrong with you? Great. I’m glad to hear from you. I have to go. I’ll talk to you later. I love you.’ It makes all the difference to him, and it doesn’t kill me for two minutes to be nice and kind.” They celebrated their 29th anniversary in September 2024.
