Yesterday as we were busy getting ready for sam’s birthday memorial celebration. I started taking pictures of all the pictures and sam stuff we have in each room of the house. I started soing this adter I asked Diane whether we should put out a few pictures of Sam for the party last night. It didn’t take me long t realize that there was no reason to put out more pictures.. Our house is a veritable shrine to Sam.. and max and gabe.. THere are sam artifacts everywhere\u00a0 .. <\/p>\n

Here are some family pics in the hall<\/div>\n

Sam’s room is full of posters from after Sam’s passing.. we still call it ‘sams room’.. though it’s now our movie\/video game room… <\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We still have a ton of all the kids artwork from school<\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even his old bolton pass. <\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Looking at this long list of pictures and objects I can see how soemone might say that we’re obsessed with our son.. and can’t let go.. . I actually had a discussion along those lines wiht my friend J at Lacross today.. I’d have to say I am obbsessed.. just as I’m obsessed with Gabe. Max and Diane.. and I’d also have to say.. I guess I can’t let go of Sm.. anymore than I can let go of my other two.. they are all part of me.<\/p>\n

There will come a time where we rearrange the pictures.. we may even use sam’s room for something else.. There may come a time where I don’t feel the need to keep writing abotu sam and our journey every day as I’ve been doing..<\/p>\n

but those says don’t seem to be coming very fast.. <\/p>\n

I want this kids and his memory in my life..\u00a0 he will always be part of us…<\/p>\n

our house, our lives just mirror the shrine we carry around in our hearts…<\/p>\n

nite folks.. thanks for all the love you have all been sending us.. nite Sam
