“Everyone wants their kid to grow up and go to Harvard or be aquarterback for the Patriots. No one ever looks at their baby and thinks, Oh, I hope my kid grows upand becomes a freak. I hope he gets to school every day and prays he won’t catch anyone’sattention. But you know what? Kids grow up like that every single day.”

“Make sure to tell our baby that his father loves him every day of his life, just like I will always love you every single day.”

“Love you parents. Every single moment.Every single day.”

“She needed a break from worrying about what to say and how to act every second of the day.”
