Yesterday we marked Sam’s 20th birthday.. we’d told folks to drop by if they felt like it.. I think by the end of the evening we’d had about 80 folks drop by.. many of them Sam’s freinds.. It was a hard day.. and also a very good day. It was so good coming together to catch up. remember sam .. .play music, light things on fire, eat, drink. jump on the tramp, skateboard.. . all the stuff Sam loved doing .
We definitely felt surrounded by love.. One of the great finds of the day was a new picture that Sam’s freind John brought over..Its of Sam,. John and Justin.. nice.. its on our fridge now
When it came time to cut the cake, max and Jac joined in by face time..
So much love..
thanks to everyone who called, facebooked, dropped by or just thought of us.. It really helped…
thanks from all of us .. especailly sam
nite all, nite sam

Love your beautiful, special-message rock garden, “Sam-forever” tees, and lantern launch. Love the pictures of all Sam’s friends and family, gathered together to remember & honor his memory. Thinking about what a gift he’s given to all his friends, who understand now at such a young age how fragile life can be, and how important it is to treasure each and every moment we have together with our loved ones. Nothing can be taken for granted. Though I do believe we go on to something/someplace greater, our time here on earth is really a gift and a blessing. Thoughts & prayers to you and your family as you celebrate Sam’s birth & life, remember & grieve anew his absence, and find comfort in the arms of one another… family & friends who share in your love for your precious son, Sam. May his light shine on in the hearts of those who loved him forever.
