Sitting here staring into Sam's beautiful eyes reminds me of a quote by another "lucky" family member of a child with Down's Syndrome....

He's not here to LEARN....he's here to TEACH

One of our little Sammy's latest M.O.'s (mode of operations--for you non-military's) is to grab the 2 people he's in between and pull them together and make them either hug or kiss each other, then they have to kiss him, or he kisses them !

He does this at church, and other places, when i'm holding him while talking to ANYONE !

So great, and such a lesson to learn, on so many levels !

Oh! Sent that too soon! :) Do you have an email address to touch base at all? My daughter is 17 now. Multiple abdominal surgeries, obstructions, now TPN dependent, double ostomy, just had ostomy takedowns. A mess as I see you guys are going through as well!
