Someone asked Sammy today&#8230;&#8221;Do you feel different?&#8221;  He replied, &#8220;Yes!&#8221;<br \/>He is so cute.  I love him so much.  He is so full of energy and a constant force of motion.  He is a loving big brother and idealized by his younger siblings.  <\/p>\n<p>He is gifted in so many ways. He is creative, athletic, smart and knows how to be a great friend. He is sensitive and kind.<br \/>He is growing into a great young man.  I can&#8217;t wait to see what this year brings for him.<br \/>Happy Birthday Sammy!  You are a special blessing to me.  I pray that God keeps you safe.  I pray that you continue to grow into a wonderful man and have a life filled with lots of love, happiness and wonderful memories!<br \/>I love you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 years ago I became a mom for the first time.
