I am so glad to hear that the surgery went well. You are all so strong...wow...you are amazing. <br /><br />I was talking to my mom on Sunday and we got talking about babies, people in my hometown, etc...and we put 2 and 2 together to lead me to you and Samuel. A guy I grew up with who lived across the street (and whose mom still does) had a baby a few years ago and you'll never guess...his son has the same heart condition as Samuel. I couldn't believe it. A success story he is...he is having his third surgery in the next few months and he is a perfectly healthy happy kid! Samuel has a bright, promising and happy future ahead of him! <br /><br />Much love,<br />JessicaJessica Greenlessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685154131311429966.post-83949512734366225182011-03-22T08:05:53.038-07:002011-03-22T08:05:53.038-07:00Hey guys, hanging on every post.

Max and I made up a prayer for Sam. Transliterated it goes like this: Baruch atah Adonai elohainu l'hadliknair shel Sam. We have decided it means this: Blessed are you G-d, light of Sam. We know Sam has this amazing light inside of him, that he gets from you guys, that will keep shining and help him recover quickly and easily. You guys are amazing.

Sam is one inspirational little spirit! So many are sending you strength for the day, hope for the moment, energy for the battle, courage for the duration. I don't know if you'd have any interest, but if no one has otherwise offered, and if you would find it amenable, I would be humbled and honored to come take some photos of Sam for you when I'm in Denver 4/2. Stephanie has my number, if you'd like me to stop by for a time. Hugs, and keep on with the positive thoughts! I believe they do make an impact!

I started crying at KK's blog about Samuel's breathing trouble and continued through Marlys' funny post about spring cleaning. We will continue to put our faith in the One who provides all life.
