Sam left us nine months ago tonight. Nine months .. the same time it took for him to grow inside Diane.  What a beautiful baby he was.. He’ll always be my beautiful baby.

 
 It was such a beautiful evening tonight  that  Diane, Max, Gabe, Trevor, Chai and I went and had a picnic in the park.

We ate  sandwiches from Bridge street   then held hands and thought of Sam as we launched another hot air balloon. 

We then hung around and tossed a Frisbee until it got dark. We brought out one special firework tonight.. a ‘happy lantern’ which is a family favorite. It put a nice end to a tough day. Sometimes that’s all you can do.

 

We love you Sam

-Mom, Dad, Max, Gabe and Chai
