Oh dear Phred: I'm so ashamed. I've been so wrapped up in my own daily stresses that I have not thought of dear Sam in a long time. Sweet Sam, please forgive me. LES.

With all that you've been through you're shining smile still gives us so much inspiration. I can't believe that you are going to be six years old. So glad to see that you are getting around nicely and enjoying school. Pretty soon you'll be entering grade 1 and that bring more "phun" stuff and new friends to meet. Keep practicing that horsie lingo. Who knows, one day you may end up visiting NM and Mz Mare's Mom.

Thank you Sas for resurrecting this thread and reminding us all that life is really not so bad after all.
