How Do You Eulogize a Daughter Who Never Lived?

On this episode of Our American Stories, Jeremy Lott never got the chance to hear his daughter cry, watch her crawl, or hold her for the life he and his wife had imagined. Diagnosed in the womb with a rare fatal condition, their daughter, Cecelia, was stillborn in July 2017. Yet during her short life before birth, she danced to Irish music, responded to familiar voices, and left an unforgettable mark on the people who loved her.For our Final Thoughts series, Lott shares the moving eulogy he delivered for his daughter, Cecelia Little Lott, and shares what it means to say goodbye to a child whose life, though brief, profoundly mattered.
