Sam was one of those rare people who's gift is immediately obvious to anyone. He enjoyed life so much and was himself an immensely enjoyable person.
ReplyDeleteI knew Sam as a friend, in fact as a friend of a friend through Sara. We were kids having fun and I have mountains of memories of him, sitting on the dock at Sara’s cottage on lazy summer afternoons, playing scrabble, putting together puzzles. Sam was a very unique person. He had a very deep understanding of people and was keenly aware of being helpful, including everyone and making everything fun. I never knew Sam academically and I sort of like it that way, he was my pal and friend.
ReplyDeleteI find it very difficult to write anything at all, because all I really want is for this to not have happened. I want Sam to be standing in Sara’s living room the next time I visit her so I can give him a hug and hear about all of the great adventures he’s been having.
Sam was supposed to outlive and outshine us all and we were supposed to stand behind him and cheer and now everything has gone so wrong. To say that I am heart broken is not enough.
I still think of Sam often so many years later. Missing you....
