We Could Have Had It All...21st Birthday Reflection

Dear Sam,

When you were going through treatment, you had a thing for Adele. In particular, you liked Skyfall, but you also liked the album entitled "21."

Today I pulled it up and listened to it...and thought about how the artist named the album after her age. Her age. Which would be your age. 

Adele is now 38. And you'd be 21 now.

But you're not.

So we honored your 21st birthday this weekend with laughter and tears, and a little bit of Adele.

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
I can't help feeling we could have had it all...(Adele)

Happy 21, Sammy. Every day, every minute, we miss you.
