Jeffrey: Camille said . . . she said everything I do is really about Joey. My son. She's right, isn't she?
Aaron: I don't know.
Jeffrey: The McKinnon baby had a purpose. I've asked myself so many times what was Joey's purpose, if a baby's going to only live less than a year. Maybe some babies don't live long enough to serve their purpose. I think I finally understand Joey's.
Aaron: What was it?
Jeffrey: To allow me to love him. And I did, Aaron. I loved him so much. Too much for God to take him away from me.
Aaron: I know that.
Jeffrey: I haven't let him go yet. I still can't let him go.
Aaron: I know that, too. (edit)
