I am grateful for my sister, Sally-Ann, for being my donor and giving me the gift of life. I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.”

According to People magazine, Amber Laign is a licensed massage therapist from California. She and Robin were introduced to each other by mutual friends and have been partners for 10 years now.
