A big surprise for beyonce. The superstar sent her fans into a frenzy, dropping an entire topsecret album overnight. This morning, well hear from her. Why she kept it all under wraps. And how queen b. Pulled off one of the biggest moves in music ever. And good morning, amer ica. Lot to get to this friday morning. We are now hearing from the survivors from the dramatic and terrifying plane crash in the hawaiian islands. The coast guard hero who swooped to the rescue. And the megamillions jackpot could be today i know its friday the 13th. Could be a lucky day for one person tonight. The drawing is tonight. The jackpot at 400 million. The fifth biggest in u. S. History. Also tomorrow, switching gears to a degree. One year since the senseless tragedy in newtown, connecticut. To that end, i recently had a chance to sit down with some of the families still healing, still taking steps from their darkness. But today, they bring a very inspiring message of hope and healing and faith for all of us. I very much look forward to sharing this with everybody today. We look forward to hearing it. Thanks for bringing it to us, josh. Lets get to the weather. Its going to be some kind of weekend for a lot of folks. It is. It starts with people in chicago all the way to detroit. And were talking here in the northeast. Watch and see how the timing plays out. Lots of moist air from the gulf of mexico. It meets up with just enough of the cold, that it starts in chicago. Through parts much detroit. And by 11 00 a. M. , this is tomorrow. New york city, washington, d. C. , are seeing the snow. And then, you see it scoot out. And i think a lot of it changes to rain along the coast. Thats going to taper some of those snow total amounts. But were talking big snow totals. Anywhere from chicago, right around three inches, especially to the south. Thats where the heavier stuff will fall. Over eight in detroit. This is just one of the computer models. 2. 3 in philadelphia. New york city, just over five. That would be tough, especially once we get the rain. But a sloppy, slushy mess. And most of it going to fall to the north in parts of new england, upstate new york, places that have seen tons of snow, four to five feet of lakeeffect snow, in the last two days, theyre getting more and were going to rob nelson who is right there in oswego, new york. Reporter good morning, ginger. Yes, the snow here has been falling really heavy never night. They expect 8 to 15 inches of lakeeffect snow. Only 18 to 30 inches from the storm you just talked about, another 4 to 8 inches will come on top of that throughout the weekend. Folks this part of the country are used to rough weather, but this is still a lot of snow. Rob, usually me. I totally commend you for doing that. Thats usually you out there. He is shivering, it is cold. Thank you, ginger. We turn now to the deadly rock slide in utah. Gio benitez has been tracking this overnight. This happened near zion. Reporter the boulders seemed to come out of nowhere. Just before dinner time. Its a mysterious disaster in southern utah. A sudden and massive rockslide, flattening a home, killing the two people inside. Felt like an earthquake. A lot of vibration. Reporter those big boulders, tearing the house apart. Look at the home before the rockslide. And look at it now, destroyed. First responders say the dust cloud created from the slide was so big, it stopped traffic on a local highway. Its a freak accident. You dont have time to escape. Reporter Police Officials still dont know exactly why this happened. But they say rockslides are common this time of year because of snow and freezing temperatures. Very emotional for the whole canyon. Its tough to see the people show up and crumble into tears. Reporter the rockslide causing immediate evacuations. Neighbors are finally able to go back home this morning. But right now, it is still too dangerous for rescue crews to even search that rubble. Theyll have to wait until later this morning to go anywhere near it, george. Thats is treacherous. Gio, thanks very much. Lets go to josh with the other top stories. Were going to begin with a story breaking overnight. Very troubling. More violence outside an nfl stadium. This time, in denver, where four people were stabbed in a parking lot after last nights Broncos Chargers game. One of the victims remains in critical condition. Police say the fight broke out. It is unclear if it was between rival fans. Three suspects are in custody at this hour. Overseas, a major shakeup in nuclear north korea. The young leader, kim jongun, has executed his oncepowerful uncle, labeling him, and i quote, worse than a dog, end quote. This morning, the world is taking notice of this apparent and very brazen power grab. Abcs Martha Raddatz traveling in the region. She joins us, now, from vietnam. Martha . Reporter good morning, josh. The news of the execution has stunned this region of the world. Not only has kim jongun executed a powerful older family member. But the execution was publicly announced. Something the secretive nation just never does. Photos were released of the uncle being arrested, bound and later dragged before a military tribunal. Accused of trying to overthrow the young leader. He was called a traitor for all ages and despicable human scum. Experts fear this means the younger kim has an even greater lust for power over the Nuclear Armed nation and will tolerate no dissent. Josh . Meanwhile, big changes could be coming to the governments secret surveillance program. Overnight, we learned a White House Advisory Panel is expected to recommend new limits on the nsa spying program. Even suggesting that civilians and not the military control the program. However, a collection of phone call data is expected to continue. And a new setback of sorts for Airline Passengers hoping to one day yap on their cell phones during flight. The Transportation Department is now considering banning inflight calls for good. This, in a response to a move by the fcc that would allow airlines to choose their own policies. I think we all feel like children in the room while our parents are fighting. Finally, two daredevils, take a look at this, taking a leap of faith, as they plunge headfirst down a 75foot waterfall. Ben marr and skier Rory Bushfield pushed off and so pulled off a deathdefying stunt, as you can see, in canada. A backwards somersault, as you can see there, while still moving from the top of the falls. I really hope that i dont have to say this. But i shall for posterity. Dont anybody try that at home or at your local 75foot waterfall. Thanks very much. That happens to be in your backyard. Josh, thank you. Now, we have the latest on that deadly plane crash in hawaii. Survivors speaking out about their terrifying experience and the moments they frantically waited in the water to be rescued. Abcs aditi roy has the latest, joins us from l. A. Good morning, aditi. Reporter good morning, robin. This is a chilling story. These survivors are still shaken up by their harrowing ordeal. Some said they didnt think they would walk away from the crash alive. The air speed was at least 70. And you hit the water, its like instant breaks. Reporter he said it happened so fast. He was among the nine passengers on a small plane, islandhopping to honolulu. After takeoff, the planes operator said the caravan singleengine cessna failed. And then heard a bang. It was like slowmotion of everything. Plane slowly going down. Reporter the pilot managed to land the plane rightside up. He was praised as a hero. He did everything by the numbers. He got it in there as clean as he did. Reporter the remaining survivors, now in the water. Gathered in two groups, began an hourlong drift in choppy waters, before coast guard rescuers found them floating on their backs, exhausted. I got up to him and said hey, sir, coast guard rescue swimmer. He looked over and smiled. It was a good feeling. I grabbed his arm. Reporter all but one survived the crash, hawaiis Health Director loretta fuddy. She had a distinguished career in social work. The faa is investigating the crash. A spokesman for the agency says they plan to speak to some of the passengers and the pilot. The planes wreckage has not been recovered. Robin, some terrifying moments. Indeed. And we are thinking of loretta fuddys family, as well. Thank you so much. Were going to get to more fallout from the fake sign Language Interpreter at Nelson Mandela memorial service. The fact that a schizophrenic with a checkered history could get so close to president obama and other World Leaders raises questions for the secret service. They are responding now. Pierre thomas has more from washington. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, george. Theres no way around it. In hindsight, this was a scary situation. And the president was potentially at risk. Watch closely as the president of the United States makes hiss way to the podium to give his speech during the Nelson Mandela memorial service. The president almost has to squeeze by the sign Language Interpreter to get to the microphone. Watch again. Theyre shouldertoshoulder. The interpreter is only a couple of steps away from the president throughout his nearly 19minute speech. Closer than any secret service agent. Sometimes i will react violent on that place. Sometimes i will see like things chasing me. Reporter we know that he may not have been qualified to sign. And Thamsanqa Jantjie claims he has a history of Mental Illness and may not be qualified to sign. He even says he was having delusions during the event. I see angels come to the stadium. Reporter a huge embarrassment for event organizers and a major breakdown in security for the president. The secret service responded thursday, saying the South African government, the host country, was responsible for vetting the event staff. But the vetting by South African officials was clearly deficient. And one senior official in the country said, that the company that provided the interpreter appeared to have vanished. Will they learn from this . You bet they will. They will make very certain that there is never a situation like this again. Reporter the trips short notice posed security headaches. At one point, the president s motorcade got stuck in traffic. Thankfully nothing happened. Imagine in this man had attacked the president or embarrassed him. The question would be, really . How could that guy with that background be so close to the leader of the free world . Thats the thing, pierre. Theres so many questions about this mans background. Is the secret service dropping this now . Or doing more to investigate . Reporter my sources say theyre largely dependant on the South African officials to get to the bottom of how this happened. But clearly, there will be reviews internally. Pierre thomas, thanks very much. Well talk about all this and all of the politics sunday on this week. No shortage of topics on sunday, josh george. It is george . It is friday. Thanks. Now, to the highstakes trial involving celebrity chef nigella lawson. She got highprofile support. But her former assist about the disputed lawsons testimony. Providing evidence that lawson was using cocaine all the time. Lama hasan has the latest and joins us this morning from london. Good morning, lama. Reporter good morning, to you, robin. For the First Time Since this trial began, Nigella Lawsons former assistant is in the witness box giving evidence. And this morning, shocking testimony from her. Accusing nigella of lying in court about the extent of her drug use. Making stunning claims in court, nigellas former assistant, elisabetta grillo, says the celebrity tv chef took cocaine regularly. Quoting her testimony, that she used the drug seven times in her life, simply untrue. Having people around my table makes me happy. Reporter although she said she never witnessed nigella taking drugs. She said she saw evidence of her drug use, quote, every three days. Contradicting the domestic goddess admissions last week when she said, quote, the idea that im a drug addict or habitual user of cocaine is absolutely ridiculous. Elisabetta told the jury she found a packet of white powder. Saying, quote, i opened it because it was kind of a little funny envelope. And i saw white powder. Her and her sister, francesca, are accused of embezzling more than 1 million of nigella and her exhusband, multimillionaire charles sachis money. Theyre pleading not guilty to fraud. Even the Prime Minister of the country is declaring hes on team nigella. Speaking to the spectator magazine, David Cameron said, im a massive fan. Ive had the great pleasure of meeting her a couple of times. She strikes me as a funny and warm person. But im also an amateur cook, and i like her recipes. The judge hitting back in court, telling the jury to ignore the Prime Ministers comments. Now, the Prime Ministers office is saying there was never any intention to have any impact on the court case. Now, the trial is due to end next week. Robin and george . Thank you, lama. Going to turn to the megamillions jackpot. It could make friday 13th the luckiest day ever for the winner. As we told you, the jackpot is now 400 million. The drawings tonight. Abcs linsey davis with the latest. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, george. There are statistics that would suggest that when the 13th of the month falls on a friday, theres fewer accidents, fires and thefts because people are more cautious. But statisticians may have new data to analyze with the megamillions drawing tonight because people now have 400 million reasons to feel a little lucky. It could just be that today is the luckiest unlucky day ever. I feel pretty lucky. Reporter of course, the odds are in your favor if, one, you buy at least one ticket for tonights 400 million megamillions jackpot. And, two, you are not one of the estimated 17 million to 21 million americans suffering from triskaidekaphobia, a fear of friday the 13th. Wouldnt it be fun to have a big winner on friday the 13th . Reporter that winner would cash in on the secondlargest jackpot in megamillions history. The fifthlargest jackpot ever. But of course, odds are, you wont win. In fact, your chances of winning the revamped megamillions has dropped from 1 in 176 million to roughly 1 in 259 million, which means it would be way more likely for an amateur golfer to hit a hole in one on consecutive par 3 holes. You would be 370times more likely to give birth naturally to quadruplets. Or 1,369times as likely to date a supermodel. Big, big odds to win that jackpot. But someone is going to eventually win. Reporter but perhaps, as the 13th year of the 21st century comes to a close, maybe, just maybe, this is one time when it pays not to be superstitious. Who wouldnt have a nicer christmas if they won 1 million . Reporter in the new revamped game, five of the six balls now range from 1 to 75 instead of 1 to 56. Thats right. So now youre not going to buy one . Thats the deal. Reporter this move actually was intended to make it continue to roll over so the pot keeps getting bigger and bigger. And so far, thats actually won because nobody has won. Right. Reporter its working, in part. I was wondering about that. We are seeing this more and more, the big jackpots, rolling over and rolling over. Thats why. Reporter theyre doing this in competition with powerball because theyve been starting to see these huge, 500 million, 600 million, close to 1 billion. Thats fine. By powerball, they did it doubling the ticket cost. From 1 to 2. With this, theyre actually making the odds worse for all of us. Whats that word again . Frigga triskaidekaphobia. You can do it. Wow. Anybody heard that . Im going to followup on that. Anybody have a fear of friday the 13th . Anybody . No. No. If i win i wish there was a window. Anybody going to play . Raise your hand if youre playing. You have to be in it to win it. Lets get weather, ginger. Lets all do that. Were all winning the jackpot if snow is the jackpot. Let me tell you about the cold. This picture is from georgia. That frost, right there on the top of the car, happening at wjbf, one of our favorites down in the south. Thank you for sending that picture in.

Its the winter storm that comes in this weekend that were all watching. Advisories and winter storm watches all the way from st. Louis up to boston. With all of this snow, with all of this rain weve been having the last couple of weeks to talk about, the drought is improving. So, thats good news. Silver lining. Ginger, thank you.

Officials say the sound of the fire and smell of heavy smoke woke up a couple and their child. The fire destroyed the home and damaged two others before crews could get it under control. The cause is under investigation, but firefighters say it does not appear suspicious. Check on the friday morning commute. Heres leyla. All right. We have a couple of problems out there.

A little more than usual. They dont look comfortable. He needs to pull them up. More breathing room. Yeah. Much more on that later. Eddies the one with the great laugh. But first, the surprise plea deal in the socalled newlywed murder trial. Jordan graham pleading guilty to seconddegree murder, admitting of pushing her husband of eight days off a cliff. Abcs ryan owens has been following the case from the very beginning, there in missoula, montana. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning to you, robin. Jordan graham is now officially an admitted murderer. And she is locked up here this morning. Youre right. She surprised everybody. A woman who has said nothing the entire trial suddenly stood up just before closing arguments to say one word. Guilty. Jordan, how are you feeling . Reporter he didnt testify during her murder trial. But the judge wasnt about to let Jordan Graham off the hook. He made her stand before him and answer questions about the july night she pushed her new husband, cody johnson, off a cliff. She told the judge, it was definitely a reckless act. And i just pushed. What was said that made you so angry . It wasnt anything that was said. He grabbed me. I pushed his hand off. And i pushed him away. Did you push with both hands . Yes. The 22yearold pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder, bringing a sudden end to a trial that lasted half as long as her eightday marriage. Grahams Attorney Says prosecutors offered the deal and she took it because it takes firstdegree murder off the table. Are you satisfied it ended this way after all this . My satisfaction is not an issue here. All i can say is the ultimate plea that was entered. Reporter her mother sobbed, hearing her daughter admit to being a murderer. Cody johnsons mom left Court Without saying anything. But his aunt spoke for the family. What do you want to say . I want to say the family is very thankful for the outcome of this case. It was very emotional. Its been a long haul for us. And we really dont have anything else to say, except that we are very thankful for our prosecuting team. And we have the outcome that we have. Reporter did it matter to you to hear the word guilty come out of her mouth . Yes. Surprisingly, it stirred up an emotion that i didnt anticipate. Our thanks to ryan owens. Were going to bring in our chief Legal Affairs anchor, dan abrams. This was quite a surprise by many. But the judge wanted to hear from her before accepting that plea. Thats right. He wanted to make sure she understood what she was doing. Make sure she was accepting responsibility for what she had done. And he wanted to make it clear how serious a crime this is. He repeatedly said youre talking about the possibility of up to life in prison. Now, as a practical matter, this wouldnt be a life in prison case. Probably would have been if she was convicted of firstdegree murder. Now, youre starting around 20 years as a possible sentence. I think it will go slightly below that because shes now pled guilty. Because shes accepted responsibility. And i would have liked to hear the conversations between the prosecution and defense as to whether the prosecutors were saying, do you accept this plea deal, we wont ask for as stiff a sentence. But well see exactly what happens. You think that conversation probably took place. You think she was offered a deal beforehand . I think she would have been offered the exact same deal. Meaning, i think when this case started, they probably offered her a deal for seconddegree murder. At the time, she said no. You have to ask yourself, why is she accepting it now . Is it because they said they would try to give her a lenient sentence . Is it because they thought the case was going badly . Unclear. Well find out. The sentencing in march. We have a story of what seemed like an ordinary american family. Turns out they were leading an extraordinary doublelife. After tragedy struck, the dad recruited his kids into the family business, robbing banks. Abcs matt gutman spoke to all of them. Reporter this morning, for the first time anywhere, exclusive details about how the family, scott and his kids, 21yearold hayden and 19yearold abby, went from the suburbs in oregon to a cell block in texas, pleading guilty last week to a brazen bank heist near houston. It begins and ends with dad. Nice to meet you. Reporter once the head of a churchgoing family, after his wife, beth, died after a battle with Breast Cancer. How did you deal with it personally . His kids grew close as he strayed. There were arrests, Disorderly Conduct and a new expensive vice, cocaine. The money got tight. Scott launched a new career. You decided in order to make ends meet, you had to do things a little bit outside the box. Right. Reporter robbing banks. And in late 2012, he would coax those kids, those siblings, as close as soul mates, into the family business. Your father says, i have a plan to rob a bank. Shouldnt your first reaction be, are you crazy . Looking back on it, i cant believe that wasnt my first reaction. In some way, i was led on, like, this is how i protect them. And these are the only people i have. Reporter together, they took down two banks, netting 100,000. They got busted spending the last year at a texas jail. But just last week, we learned that scott had written his kids a letter, asking him to accept jail time as a bargaining chip so his sentence will be reduced. We went back to confront scott, facetoface. It seems youre trying to manipulate them behind bars. What do you want me to say to that . Reporter for his role in the robberie robberies, hayden accepted and got ten years in a penitentiary. Abby was sentenced to five years. Making an unprecedented gesture, we were allowed to bring them together one last time, before they serve their sentences. I love you. I love you, too. Reporter their love for each other, the only thing their father couldnt destroy. For good morning america, matt gutman, abc news, new york. Wow. A lot more on that on 20 20 at 10 00 eastern.

Of course, doctors say while this is encouraging, far more research is needed. And breaking overseas right now. A u. S. Missile struck a convoy headed to a Wedding Party in yemen, killing at least 13 people. That region is a wellknown al qaeda stronghold. And a remarkable sight this morning.

Lea michele is opening up in her first interview since Cory Monteiths death. The glee star is talking about how shes coping with the loss of her boyfriend and how shes keeping his memory alive. Abcs aditi roy has the story. Reporter lea michele is singing her way through heartache. For the First Time Since boyfriend and fellow glee costar, Cory Monteiths, death, the 27yearold actress is opening up, performing deeply personal lyrics, and talking candidly to ellen degeneres. Im still trying to figure out all of this. Its been only a few months. But my mom has experienced a lot of loss in her life. And she told me at one point she said, there is an empowerment that comes with grief. At some point you find it. And its very hard. Reporter monteith died in july of a drug overdose. Michelle grieved publicly. Her twitter post acknowledging monteiths death saying cory will forever be in my heart, was the most retweeted message this year. The singer and actress told ellen she mourned privately, at friend, kate hudsons, home. It was helpful to have a safe place to process and just have a minute to, you know, breathe before getting back to my house, which has a lot of memories. Reporter michelle teared up during the emotional interview. Telling ellen she found comfort in going back to the set of glee, where the pair met and fell in love. Going to work is no harder than being at home, being at the house, and opening up the closet and seeing a pair of shoes. Its like theres grief goes with you every day. Reporter but she smiled broadly when remembering the good times. I literally lived every day of my life, feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world. I just thought he was the greatest man. Reporter memories that help her go on. Reporter for good morning america, aditi roy, abc news, los angeles. Looks like shes doing much better. Doing well like that. Absolutely. The Holiday Shopping season is in full swing. And so are hightech tactics by retailers to get you to spend big. But you can beat the stores at their own game and save big. Our becky worley shows us how to do it. Reporter christmas shopping. Its you against them. You want a deal. Stores want you to spend, spend, spend. Okay, team. This is the big game. Were going to peek into the playbook of Retail Stores and learn their secrets so you can save and win. First secret theyre using technology to get you to buy more. Whether its in big chains or, here, in a small boutique. Sunhee moon in san francisco. Heat mapping is a tool they use to find what products are hot. Once they know whats trendy, they take the popular stuff and sprinkle it all around so you browse everything and maybe make an impulse buy. Next retail secret, a trick play called the group of three with an anchor. Not those anchors. The expensive item anchor. You have three coats, priced lefttoright. 100. 200. And 600. The retailer doesnt expect to sell many of the most expensive items. Theyre there to make the middle item look like a bargain. But where should you really be looking . Look left. The left item is usually cheaper and not that different from the other two. Jingle bell, jingle bell jingle bell rock yeah. Instore music. They play it louder during the holidays. The crowds, jingling bells and the traffic, and you get overstimulated. Studies show overstimulation makes us lose some of our selfcontrol, meaning, yeah, more impulse purchases. So, my solution, bring your own music and ear buds. Im going with the Charlie Brown christmas album. Very calming. Much better. For good morning america, becky worley, abc news, san francisco. We asked viewers if theyve been fooled by these kinds of tactics. Courtney tweeted us. And said stores will post huge percentage off discounts to get you in the store. But at checkout, tells you most of the items are excluded. Everybody raised their hands. The whole crowd. Everybody in here. And we asked people if they have any secrets to scoring a good deal. And david tweeted, dont buy anything until after christmas. Gift cards. Gift cards. Gift cards. I like it. Its smart. You get the gift card. And you give your person your gift it goes a lot further. And it doesnt get regifted. Well get into that. Lets talk about the hottest trend or at least wed like to think it is. For christmas. We love ugly holiday sweaters. Dont we . We dont think theyre ugly. Not at all. We cant wait to show you ours on monday. The big competition. Which i intend to win. Right now, theyre getting new legs, literally. And abcs sara haines is here with the story. Reporter thanks, lara. In recent years, weve seen some pretty interesting trends in comfortable leg wear. Pajama pants . Im going to call it now, the pants of the year of 2014, swants, sweater pants. I got a chance to try on some for size and see what all of the buzz is all about. Meet steve and kylie. Theyre looking to take Holiday Cheer to a whole, new level, one stitch at a time, thanks to their yuletide creation, swants. You heard me right. Swants. Holiday sweaters, turned into pants. This was a sweater. And now, it is a swant. Now, you can wear more sweaters at once. You can show up to your holiday sweater party. Everyone just has one sweater on. And everyone is like, the bar was just raised. You can show up with two sweaters on. Reporter the legwear became an internet sensation this fall, when steve and kylie posted their homage to swants, the swants dance. The video went viral. Prompting even fashion editors, notably cosmo, to take notice and profess their swants love. If ugly sweaters are the stuff that movie scenes are made of, could swants be behind . To find out, i enlisted kylie and steves help, to transform my holiday sweaters into an ensemble, complete with snowflakes in all the right places. Then, i took my swants to the streets. Do you approve of this outfit . Love it. Reporter on a first date. Girl shows up in swants, go. I would hope you would bring a second pair of swants. Reporter the verdict . A resounding victory for swants. The holiday pants that i can promise you will make you want to dance. Come on, guys. They make you want to dance. Dont they, sara . They totally do. George, dont you want a pair . Five or six. I would pay to see George Stephanopoulos in swants. Can i ask a question . Is that a dicky . Thats part of the complement. A dicky goes with a pair of swants. Lara, do you like my dicky . Thats a beautiful outfit. I was wondering how this might get even worse. It keeps your neck warm, george. Coming up, everybody, a little girls wish come true. Were dancing with her. Her big night at the ball. And then, d. J. Prostyle, spinning us with the swants, into the weekend. Go, eddie. Go, eddie. Good morning. Im kristen sze. A family of three in east oakland escaped just in time after being awakened by fire raging through their home. It happened around 3 00 this morning on 90th avenue and eighth street. The fire destroyed their prefab home and damaged two others before crews could get it under control. B. A. R. T. And Union Leaders return to the table with a federal mediator for a second day today. Theyre trying to resolve a dispute over a paid family leave provision in the contract that ended the b. A. R. T. Strike in october. B. A. R. T. Officials say the provision was left in somehow by mistake. Lets see how your friday morning commute is going. Heres leyla gulen. Mostly its been reports of black ice in the north bay. We do have this report of a solo vehicle spinout traveling in the northbound direction on 101 at tiburon boulevard. It wasnt because of black ice because mike tells me its about 41 degrees out there but now facing in the southbound direction over to the shoulder. Slowing in the southbound direction. As we take a live look outside here at the peek at this, you can see how foggy it is so do proceed with caution. Kristen. Good morning. I have some good news, the fog is lifting especially around novato where the fog is lifting. Theres plenty of moisture in the air for another 45 minutes or so. Most of us getting above freezing right now. Our destination this afternoon, sunshine and say good morning, america. Good morning, america. Good morning, america. Good morning, america.

He was named billboards artist of the year. And billboards male artist of the year. Hes playing at the super bowl. Thank you, d. J. Prostyle. Appreciate that. And also coming up, the wonderful story of an incredible little girl who had her fairy tale dream come true. And we were lucky enough to be there for it. Oh, josh. First, a story were going to be talking about this morning and probably have been thinking about for the better part of a year. And it is an inspiring one, that i promise. As tomorrow will mark one year since the senseless and brutal tragedy in newtown, connecticut. However remarkably that some much the grieving families have found ways to heal and to step from their darkness and to give back to all of us after having lost so much. I had a chance to speak to two parents whose strength and spirit will stagger. Chase kowalski ran his first race at just 2 1 2 years old. At age 6, he competed in and won his first triathlon. They put the number on his arm. Pin it on you. Let me tell you. He had that on for two weeks. Loved it. He told his kindergarten teacher, i was in the triathlon. And she was like, really . Reporter dylan was a schoolmate of chases. His family had moved from england to newtown, connecticut, because they found it idyllic. He was just pure joy. And his word was again. Whatever you were doing. Reporter chase and dylan were among the 26 lost in sandy hook elementary, one year ago. What was your experience . What you are experiencing there in the location, in the firehouse. And physically unable to move with this information being thrown at you. And its almost like physical blows. That friday, i dont think we thought we would ever be able to really deal and cope. Reporter but two days later, rebecca says, her son, chase, came to her in a vision. That vision totally repaired my heart. And just made it its so hard to describe and explain. But it keeps us, just, going. Reporter they created race for chase, a foundation in his memory, to bond families together, in the shared love of racing. People just show up. You know . Theyre present. Theyre here. And they tell us, you know, im doing this for your son. Im doing this because of your son. Its beautiful. Reporter youre seeing a good world out there. Yeah. For all the bad, theres a lot of good. Yep. Uhhuh. Reporter as the chaos and heartbreak engulfed them, dylans weather, ian, turned to running as therapy and escape. Putting one foot in front of the other is like getting up every day. Weve got to get up every day for 365 days every year, for however many years. Reporter what was it that you were carrying with you as you ran . So, you get out on the road. And it starts to get hard. And then, it hits you why youre training. And then, it wells up inside you. It chokes you up for a moment. And you almost feel like you have to stop. But then, you burn through and you go on. And you really know what youre doing. And you can overcome anything. Reporter ian now runs with members of the foundation that he and his wife, nicole, created. Dylans wings of change, to raise awareness and funds for children of autism. Are you grieving still . I am. And i hope i dont stop, really, because when im grieving, im remembering him. And i can turn it around and use it and take energy from that. And go on. Reporter rebecca and steve have kept chases bedroom untouched. The calendar he updated every day without fail, now colorfully frozen on december 14th, 2012. Do you talk to chase . I dont speak out loud to him. We have our in my head conversations. Reporter how do those go . Theyre mostly in the shower. And its just kind of, how im doing. How i miss him. Sometimes he just gives me the words. Reporter do you talk to him . Yeah. Mostly in the garage. Reporter are you doing stuff . Are you explaining stuff . What are your just more i miss him. You werent supposed to do that. Reporter you look back at yourself a year ago. Can you see how far youve come to now . Ive changed direction from the person that was going this way and thought that was his route and that was his familys route. And its like, complete change of direction. And so, im going to a new place now. Reporter what role, if any, does fear play in your life now . I want to do justice to his memory, that you just leave this as being a senseless act. And that just gives energy. Fear is negative. But on the other side is inspiration and the desire to go on and build and change. So, youve got to flip it round. Everything is about flipping emotions. Not hate. No hate. Flip it over. The other side is love. Take that and build because once you push the hate out, the love just flows in. And flows and flows. Dylan, you see him there. He was autistic. And it was he who was found in the arms of his teacher and friend, anne marie murphy. Something that just as bekis vision does for her family, ian and nicole says it gives them a tremendous amount of peace. And it is certainly a peace that we all wish for all of them in the days and months and the years to come. And we want to thank the kowalskis and the hockleys for letting us in for seeing the bad and the good that can perhaps come from it. It was very giving of them to do that. Its been a difficult time, needless to say. And tomorrow, the anniversary. And newtown has said, you know what . To the national media, let us be by ourselves. And the fact that everyone is listening to that. It was so nice of them. So caring of them to let you in like that. Nice of them to share. Thats something. We can learn. We can find out more, cant we . About race for chase, and dylans wings of change. Im wearing the button here. Logon to goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo so many ways to become a part of the healing. Lets head, now, to ginger zee. Shes outside. She drew the short straw. Final check of the weather. Ginger . 18 windchill out here, by the way. Today, a very special day on abc, too.

Reporter ever since, her condition has required frequent stays in the hospital. Her first couple stays were very, very rough, being that she also has autism. Reporter none of it dimmed her imagination, which she put to use coming up with her wish. I want my wish to be dancing with a prince at a ball. A real prince. Here ye, hear ye. Reporter at makeawishs fundraising event, Syracuse Universitys jim boeheim had a surprise for annie. You will get your first dance by italian prince, lorenzo borghese. Reporter she shops for a gown.

You see meryl streep, julian nicholson, sam shepard. Chris cooper. And you get back with julia, julia roberts. We have remained friends since we did a little movie. And i knew she was cast.

You know, we had an exchange of messages where i knew she was cast. I had already auditioned. And i thought, you know, this time, im actually going to see if i can call in a favor from a friend, right . I said, maybe you can put in a good word in for me. And she said, no, i cant. I respect her for her honesty and integrity for a friend. But the way that movie was being cast, she wasnt going to have a say. You went in on your own. I did. And it was a tough part to get. I was happy when that happened. I love the way you did it. You guys went out, and bunked together, like the old days. I was going to say, it was just like movies are supposed to be made. Even back in the day, even a small movie would do it this way. But this production made sure that we were shooting it where it took place. We lived all in the same culdesac with these townhouses. So, we were neighbors. We dined together. Rehearsed together on our own, ran lines, and then shot it in the actual place. It felt so authentic, to an actor. They were giving us all of the tools we needed to do the best job we could do. Whatever you guys did. It is a great movie. Congratulations. Thanks. It opens on christmas day. Thats august osage county. Well be right b using lysol in hundreds of ways. Ople are whats christines story . I started using lysol disinfectant spray, gosh, as long as i can remember.
