Happy Birthday.

"I am so lucky that my life is filled with people who constantly remind me that the world is filled with more good than bad, more hope than doubt, and more love than pain."

‎"Believe. Decide what is true for you, what brings you joy, what allows you to live passionately, and then believe wholeheartedly in those things. Remind yourself of what you truly believe in and why. Once you know what you believe in, your faith will be unbreakable."

"Love. Do it all the time, under all conditions, without restrictions or limitations. Don't hold back your love; constantly remind the people you love that you do. Talk about things you love, books you love, places you love, food you love, people you love, experiences you loved. Don't waste time criticizing or complaining, there is no time for that."

Happy Birthday, Jill. My heart feels heavy today because I miss you. We all do...But your legacy is doing so much everyday. I am blown away on a regular basis. So many people are working hard for you, and they are working to spread the word about lung cancer so that young, healthy, incredible people like yourself will never have to suffer the same fate. It is really making a difference. Thank you for reminding me to live and enjoy my wonderful life. Every moment is beautiful and we are not guaranteed many more. Our lives are truly great and we should focus more energy on the good, and less on the bad. You made the very most of your life and inspire me to do the same. You are an amazing person (I can't talk about you in past tense because your presence is very much still here!). Thank you for inspiring the world. Rest well, my love.
