A few weeks ago I wrote about going to Bob and Pam’s wedding. Bob’s the guy that received one of Sam’s kidneys when he died. Bob connected with us when he saw me put a a Samstone in the water filter in the first season of The Colony

The wedding was great.. and we felt honored and welcome to be there..by Bob Pam and both of their families That was back on July 23rd.. Today Bob and Pam drove up from Rutland to visit us and see where Sam had lived. 

They showed up just around lunchtime so I knocked off work.. and we spent about 3 hours talking about Sam, Bob and Pam’s past .. including Bob’s battle with kidney disease hat nearly killed him .. and all of our lives since Sam died.. and Bob got a new lease on life.

Their visit was really wonderful.. both Pam and Bob are great people.. They both spoke openly about how grateful they were for Sam and the life he gave Bob.  They had great compassion for our loss as well

I was really happy that Gabe and Max were here to meet Bob and Pam, Both of them hung out and talked. I wonder how it felt to them.  

It’s hard to describe what it was like for me having part of Sam still living

inside Bob.. and being in our house. In some ways i didn’t feel like I

thought it might.. A piece of Sam was here.. but it wasn’t Sam.. Sam to

me is all around me.. not in his organs.. .. I felt more happy for Bob

than I did sad for us… or freaked out..  .. and.. I didn’t expect it… I just felt connected..

Aroun 3L30 they headed south.. first to Rutland.. and then back down to Florida where they live.. I hope to see them again before too long..

Here we are just before they left.. (Thanks to Jack for taking the picture !)
