Sam I Am (vanity)

A letter from Lee Metz | 9/11/2006 | Lee Metz

Sorry to delete the RSVP details, but I don't think my friend Lee is quite prepared for me to invite 200,000+ people to their celebration!
Sam's story is so moving that I had to share it with the FReeper Community. To those of us with family and friends in similar circumstances...stay strong, keep faith, keep hope and most of all keep loving.



If you would care to share in a virtual celebration via this thread - feel FRee!
I'll send Lee a link to it and the occaision will be immortalized!

I got this letter from a very good and long-time friend, and wanted to share it with my FRiends online. It's nice to get some good news once in a while!

Thank you.

[tsmith130]

What a beautiful letter from a loving parent. Thank you for sharing with us.

I could bring a side dish? ;o)

[JRios1968]

That is awesome. God bless Sam and his caring parents. And life is now even more of a celebration for all!

[Rte66]

God Bless Sam I Am

I would bring green eggs and ham, but I hear he doesn't like them!

[freekitty]

What a beautiful family and prayers to them.

I havenot been able to cry on this anniversary of 9/11, but this post has brought the tears streaming down my cheeks. Thank you God for Sam's recovered health, and thank you NonLinear for sharing Sam's story with all of us.

It feels good to cry with joy and thankfulness, instead of shedding more and more tears for all those who were lost on 9/11/2001. I am still angry about that, so I am glad to hear Sam's story so that I can think of happy news.

May God Continue to Bless and Keep Sam and his family.

[NonLinear]

Wow! Likewise...what a beautiful reply!

Thanks!

A lot of people might think it's weird, but my favorite song forever, it seems, has been:

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Prsise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
amen

Well, that and Ode to Joy (Beethoven's 9th)
