Full transcript

1. 0:01when we first met Jill she was
2. 0:04incredibly bubbly and positive and she
3. 0:07is that
4. 0:09today and you would think that what she
5. 0:12was confronted with then would be the
6. 0:14worst thing that she'd ever be
7. 0:15confronted with losing her legs um in
8. 0:19private she said wish she wasn't in the
9. 0:22position she was in back then and and
10. 0:24you know she still is that today I guess
11. 0:26the thing that has changed is probably
12. 0:29not Jill but my perception of her and
13. 0:31and and that is that that while she
14. 0:34looked like she was putting on a brave
15. 0:35face in those days she has been tested
16. 0:39again and again and again and she
17. 0:42continues to keep fighting on and so she
18. 0:46has a strength of spirit and character

22. 0:57full um and the moment I say I'm full
23. 1:00then there seems to be a hole that
24. 1:02happens in the bucket and someone just
25. 1:04keeps pouring something in so obviously
26. 1:07I'm one of
27. 1:08those resilient people in life that can
28. 1:12weather every
29. 1:14storm but but you keeps going and she
30. 1:17keeps doing it with Grace and dignity
31. 1:19and good humor and uh and so I don't
32. 1:23think Jill Hicks has changed so much but
33. 1:25there's just there's more there's just
34. 1:27more and more and more of the Jill Hicks
35. 1:29that we first got to know and and I
36. 1:31guess we just continue to get to know
37. 1:33the depth of that character the more we
38. 1:34meet
39. 1:39her
