Statement from First Lady Jenny Sanford
August 11, 2009
COLUMBIA, SC – August 7, 2009 – I am so thankful for the overwhelming support and prayers we have received from people all across South Carolina. I am literally in awe of how blessed we are to have such love and support from family and friends, old and new. It is with this support, and after much careful and prayerful consideration, that I have decided to move back to our home in Charleston with our sons for the upcoming school year. From there, we will work to continue the process of healing our family. While we will be leaving Columbia, we will return often, and I will remain engaged in activities in my role as First Lady, acknowledging that my responsibilities to my family come first.
Once again, when it comes to personal family matters like this, I respectfully ask that members of the media allow us to go on with our lives in peace.
