My Sam.

All of my boys are . . . quite simply put . . . AMAZING!!

Each of them have a special place in my heart.  I wanted to

give a shout out to Sam!  He is such a wonderful person!

He has only needs to earn 10 more credits and he will

have his Associate's Degree.  He works hard and does an

amazing job at everything he tries.  He has had a different

golf season this year for many reasons, yet has remained

committed to his team . . . even in the most difficult 

moments.  He is smart, kind, loving, and Christlike.  He

sees the good in just about EVERYONE.  I could not 

be prouder of a seventeen year old if I tried.  He loves

me in spite of myself and is my psychologist, computer

wizard, photographer, accountabler, and much more

all rolled into one ball.

As I walk this unfamiliar journey, I have become so

very much more aware of why our Heavenly Father

has placed different individuals in my life.  He certainly

knew what He was doing when he gave me the

gift of this guy.  I continue to be blessed by him daily

and grateful for the wonderful young man he is!  I

do so wish that our Dad could be here to witness Sam.

It is difficult to imagine the milestones my boys will

pass through without their amazing Dad.  I will

continue to be thankful for my many, many blessings,

especially the gift of my amazing boys.
