Today would have been Sam’s 28th birthday. I spent the whole day thinking about him\ufffc<\/p>\n

What kind of man would he be? You’re such a great kid\u2026 So fun so kind\u2026 I’m sure he would be a great person.\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We did a lot of things in his honor today. The first thing is we woke up at 3:30 in along with our housemates hike up Bolton.\u2026 We wanted to see the sunrise<\/p>\n

It was funny seeing all that snow and being so cold in the morning and so hot down here in the valley\u2026 It was 90\u00b0 again\ufffc<\/u><\/p>\n

We were home by 6:30\u2026 I went to sleep for another couple of hours. We spent the rest of the day working around the house.\u2026 It felt good to be taking a day off to think about Sam. We spent some time in the pool and we took took the dogs down to the swimming hole\ufffc<\/u><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Around 4 o’clock we had cheesecake with homemade homegrown rhubarb sauce that Diane had made. Deb come by so it was the five of us. A perfect small quiet party for sam\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All day long we were getting nice texts and emails from people with thoughts about Sam. Our friends Linda and david sent us some pictures that I had never seen a Sam and their daughter Andria who just got married.\u2026 The one picture of sam and Chi got me crying\u2026 I was looking for doing that today\u2026 So it kind of helped\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I showed it to Ty\u2026 I think she cried to\ufffco \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At seven we had asked everybody to do a toast to sam\u2026 We got another Red Bull port a little out for Sam and let a candle for him. I felt like a good closed for the day\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Happy birthday sam\u2026 We love you my son\u2026 We always will<\/p>\n
