Just sitting down after a day long celebration for Sam.. Thought yesterday is the day of the accident, Today is the day we mark his death.  I woke up thinking about Sam.. I thought about him all day.. I often do.. today we had many others to share our memories of this great kid.. 

 

here’s one of my favorite pics of Sam it was at Camp Abenaki during ‘Priate Day’.. Sam was acting out Tenacious D’s ‘Wonder boy’ 

our good freind Coco painted that picture for us 

 

 

our celebration for Sam began at 1 up at bolton about 20 friends and 4 dogs joined us for a quick walk up the mountian.. There was nearly a foot of snow already on top .. though the air tem p was in the high 40’s 

 

we brought chai and satori.. Chai is 14 years old.. satori is 10 .. both  did the hike just fine. 

 

it was a beutiful day.. before I knew it we were up at the top.. took less than an hour. 

 

we stopped at the hut and shared red bull, moonshine..gorp..

\

 

next stop was the fire tower for max, gabe and i .. we always go up and fire off soem fireworks for sam. \

 

we got down around 4.. and headed back to the house. People started showing up around then 

 

kasey !

eventually we had about 50 people show up for Sam

 

we passed out red bull for a toast.. sam loved(!!!!) redbull 

 

Food was great.. even spiders and cheese !

 

out came quitars and a fiddle.. here are max and rusty 

 

then jane got out rusty’s fiddle 

 

the house was mostly cleared out by about 11 PM.. thats 10 hours after we began

 

there were lots of  sam stoires.. much more laughter than tears. 

 

what a wonderful way to remember a wonderful kid

 

We miss you my son.. your friends are still very much in our lives..
