Tongiht Gabe told  that he’d dreamed about Sam on Wed night . It wa a strange dream, he told me.. The next day. his teacher walked in with the book ‘My Brother Sam is Dead’ .   It’s an award winning  book about the revolutionary war.. The kid who narrates the story’s brother has died in the war. . Gabe’s teacher hd  written us a letter asking us if it was ok if they brought the book into the class. We thought she was so sweet for asking..  She took a few minutes before the class to talk to the class about Our Sam.. and the sensitivity to the books title. Gabe was fine with the book title.. we talked about it at dinner.

I think it’s so interesting how even years later people sometimes don’t knwo what to say or do.. but are always looking out for us..

I think I’ll read the book

Nite All, nite Sam
