We will continue to pour out prayer over your family, because that is what we are supposed to do--intercede on your behalf when you've already said all you know how to say to God. The outpouring that I have seen from the online community is tremendous, but if you should ever have a day when you feel like people have forgotten what you are going through, just know that there is a group of us in Raytown, Missouri, praying for you all, lifting you up, and asking God to wrap you in his loving embrace. <br /><br />Leah Scott<br />Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712199638691765381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-29058815276716453542013-11-17T19:37:01.811-06:002013-11-17T19:37:01.811-06:00Like many others, I have never met you, but now th...Like many others, I have never met you, but now that I have found you, you will have my and my family's daily prayers.

I came across this blog by accident, through a link leading to your wishes for superhero pictures, and bookmarked your blog so that I could send a picture. I didn't end up sending one, but I certainly ended up coming back more and more to see how well Sam was feeling day by day. The glimpse you have given me- a nineteen year old girl with no history of illness or battle with disease- into the struggles and times of happiness your family have given me a lot of strength. Although you have not known, I included Sam in my prayers, and cried with happiness the day he was able to come home.<br /><br />But now I am for the same reason you are. I cannot imagine your pain. I have fallen in love with your family, whose ability to remain strong in times of adversity has helped me in my own life. And although I have never met him, I love Sam very much, and am incredibly touched by his inspiration every day. <br /><br />Although the days to come can not be easy, I know you will manage to coming days with God's absolute love. I continue to pray for Sam, who is still my favorite superhero.<br /><br />Love Always,<br />Meg ♡ Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299952173408232371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-30589064661399343342013-11-16T15:03:09.638-06:002013-11-16T15:03:09.638-06:00We prayed for all of you last night at Temple Beth...We prayed for all of you last night at Temple Beth-El San Antonio through our words, music and meditations.

I...I have just now found you through social media. I feel shamed... as though I could have helped some how, had I known sooner. Silly I know but I will be praying for you all, for Sam. Your story; your life, is one of Love, sadness, triumphs and defeats. I have been through this with a loved one myself and it is trying. I know you know. You are also blessed with something most are not. You are able to get to know your family; yourself much better and sooner with a closeness unavoidable. At times there may be/have been such stress and tension the arguing was unavoidable. Only with true love do you overcome and find the strength. I am sure I am all over the map here, as I have so much to say but my heart is so heavy. In short, may God bless your Sam and your family. May the love, strength, hope and faith sustain you through this trying and most difficult time. Sam is a remarkable boy and through this all, without even knowing, he is teaching you so much. Love and peace to you all now.
