My mother was a pillar of strength, even helping my dad. It wasn't until I became a mom myself that I realized how amazing she truly was. As I read your blog, I am once again amazed by another mother's courage and strength. Bless you and your family.

A college friend forwarded your story to me (thank you Stephanie Gertz) and I've read about the last months of Sam's life and how full of love and comfort they were. What an amazing gift you give to the world by sharing his story with all of us. Thank you. It is the holiday season for many people now regardless of religion and sometimes what's truly important is lost in all the commercial culture. You have reminded me of that today and I am extremely grateful. Sam will live on in everyone that loved him and his family and in all of us that are lucky enough to learn about his too short life. Know that this mom of four boys is thinking of you in McLean, VA and wishes I could do more for you. A very close friend of mine died from breast cancer in 2009 and she reminded me daily to "keep on living". Another young woman I was fortunate enough to know that passed away this April from breast cancer at only 29 was most afraid of being forgotten. <br /><br />Sam achieved more in his eight short years than many of us do in a lifetime. He will never be forgotten. Keep on living.

Thank you for so graciously sharing him and your journey with all of us. Although we have never met, just know that we are here for you…holding you up in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. I know that Sam's memory will be for a blessing and shine as brightly and as beautiful as that spectacular shooting star I witnessed the other evening. Truly a sign from the Heavens. With all our prayers for comfort, peace and little bits of light in the days ahead. And love…just an abundance of love.

Perhaps it is a blessing that you have poured out your pain in these pages so that it can eventually be diluted with the love & support of others. It will also someday be diluted by the succession of joys to come as you carry on without Sam. But for now, for today, there is nothing but the terrible loss and the terrible sadness. Sam is at peace today - and you and your family are in my prayers. Thanks again for sharing this journey with us and bless you.Cathy Grishamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653872294371046550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-90736684716478193602013-12-14T15:50:17.153-06:002013-12-14T15:50:17.153-06:00so sad. how quickly it all happened. thinking of y...so sad. how quickly it all happened. thinking of you all from Israel. sara g https://www.blogger.com/profile/04740402369104758130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-73509947870843104842013-12-14T15:30:31.401-06:002013-12-14T15:30:31.401-06:00We are so sorry for your loss.We are so sorry for your loss.KatieLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822320870229121693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-23512865169980018122013-12-14T15:22:43.813-06:002013-12-14T15:22:43.813-06:00I have no words.
