Robin Roberts has always been pretty candid about her battle with cancer and a rare bone marrow disease, but she opened up in a big way during her appearance on Harry on Thursday. The Good Morning America anchor sat down with host Harry Connick Jr. during the show's "Nurse's Hour" segment and couldn't help but tear up just thinking about how "invaluable" her nurses were during her hospitalization, especially after her mother passed away. "There was a time when I sent everybody away, and I was in my room, and I just felt like I'm slipping away. I just couldn't," she said. "I kept hearing this voice, 'Robin! Robin! Robin!' And suddenly, I open my eyes, and it's Jenny [Tran], my nurse Jenny. She's looking at me. That was my mother's voice. I am convinced, when I was hearing that, even though it was Jenny, it was my mother's voice I was hearing." As if that didn't pull on your heartstrings enough, Jenny and fellow nurse Tonya Samuel came out on stage to greet her in a truly beautiful moment. Grab some tissues and watch the video above!
