Jill Abbott Quotations

Someday she will understand what she did for us, ... that her birth was a rebirth for us. I'm going to thank her for coming to us at this time.

We go early to hear the reading of names and listen for Daddy's name. Later we descend on a ramp to water ponds filled with thousands of roses. We always bring our own flowers and a note to our dad.

Dad was really looking forward to being a grandfather for the first time. Six weeks before 9/11, I had breakfast with him, and I told him that we were going to name the child after him.

The day is a reality check on what's really important. It's a reminder not to sweat the small stuff.
