wow i cant believe its been a year sam. i remember that we were in california and my dad flew back to see us for some reason. we were really excited that he was coming to spend time with us. then he sat us down and told us the news. out of all the things he could have said, i would have never guessed that that was it. so many things were running through my head. i thought my dad was joking. i couldnt believe or accept that you were gone. its been really hard to deal with. none of my friends have been in my situation so its hard for them to relate. but i did pull through, and i think about you a lot. i love you so much sam!
