Couldn't help but see his little life flash before my very eyes. Time is just moving tooooo fast. Y'all know me. Picture tribute it is....
Sam came into this world not breathing on his own. After many weeks at Arkansas Children's Hospital, and against the odds....he is a strong, healthy boy who does not stop. When I see him running down the football field, or rounding the bases, I can barely remember those feelings of holding my first born in my arms wondering if he would ever be able to breathe without a machine.
God is so good. I began to cherish that child and see the joy in his eyes the first time he opened them to look at me. He is everything a momma hopes for in her son. I always dreamed of having a son and he has far exceeded those dreams.
I love you Sam. 17 years has gone by much too fast.
