“This was sunset my first night in New York. Yes, my eyes are little slits at this point from trying to keep them open. But I made it! As everyone arrived, it felt like a family reunion. Which it really is, isn’t it?” she wrote.
Niven went on to issue a special message to fans that was honest, powerful, and very inspiring.
“And you are our family too! Thank you for watching and sharing @hallmarkchannel’s love and positive energy for 25 years already. We would not be here without you.
