I was listening to Joel Olsteen this morning-- and he made me realize that if Sam WAS here, all of THOSE people would not have been brought together. Because of Sam, new love was discovered, revealed and accepted, and love was grown...all because of Sam. Because Sam is not here, respect and compassion were born between and for people who never would have received respect or compassion. I can't explain it as well as he did, but even an awful tragedy breeds and fathers life. I get it.
Sam will never ever be forgotten, and her life was not forsaken, it was only the mother to 100's of new lives and pure, honest love. Rest in Peace Samantha. I am honored to have made your acquaintance even though it was under such awful and non-understandable circumstances. I thank you so much for what you have given me, and cannot wait to thank you in heaven, I owe you so much.
