I&#8217;ve only had 3 hours sleep since last year. Still, I&#8217;d like to take a second to wish you all a good new year..&nbsp; This has been the toughest year of our lives.. It&#8217;s been an amazing one too. We all grown so much and seen our friends grow too.&nbsp; I am starting this year still deeply sad, yet stronger, more at peace and more purposeful than I&#8217;ve ever felt before. I&#8217;d like to&nbsp;&nbsp; thank the many, many people who have cared for our family and help us keep Sam&#8217;s spirit alive in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;I know better now&nbsp; than to wish for anything specific in this year. I&#8217;ve seen how the future is rarely like our expectation.&nbsp; I can, still hope that it&#8217;s a year of peace and spiritual growth&nbsp; for all our friends, family and communities. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks you all so much..&nbsp; and thank you Sam, for helping us to be strong. <\/p>\n<p>-me<\/p>\n<p>ps.
