Happy Birthday Sweetie! I've been thinking all day about what I wanted to write, and so many things come to mind. First, I thought I'd tell you about the nice cards we have recieved from The Aults, Aunt Jenny, and Vieaux's next door. Then someone had placed a cute Dachshund Patrol sign on the windshield of my car,(but don't know who put it there). We also recieved some beautiful flowers in memory of you from Robyn and Dale. Then I went out to see you and bring you some roses and I ran into Liz and Katherine, who by the way also brought some very beautiful flowers and a note. I also recieved a visit from Whitney next door, and went out to eat with Uncle Don and Aunt Pat. We are having a mass said in your honor tomorrow, and it sounds like many family members will be there as well. Oh . . . Sammy, if only you could have felt the love that was all around you. Everyone misses you so badly, and I know for me, it's not getting any better. But then again, how could it. The happiest 3 days of my life, was marrying dad, giving birth to you, and giving birth to Jon. I will always cherish the day you were born, but will always be saddened with the fact that you decided to leave us so soon. Why is it everyone else knew how beautiful, talented, and smart you were, except you. I know it was tough for you the last couple years, and yet their were so many positive things to come in your future. And truthfully I was looking forward to that future with you, and you decided to take it all away. My hearts aching Sam, and I know my life as I knew it is now gone. We're trying to learn a new normal, but it's not an easy road for any of us. I love you so very much Sam, and I wish more than anything, that I could wrap my arms around you just one more time and tell you what you mean to me. Rest peacefully Sammy, you will always be my baby girl. I miss you. XXOO
