- She described an early morning with daughter Jackson followed by breakfast with her father, Bryan Lourd, whose playful bond with her kids prompted the reflection.
- Lourd noted that two photos accompanying the post—one with Fisher and a young Billie and another with Bryan and her children—were taken in the same room 25 years apart.
