You are such a precious child. I remember praying for you before you were conceived, while you grew inside me, and I know the intensity of the prayers prayed for you during the last seven years. We named you Samuel because you are what your name means: "answered prayer".
God gave you to us and He has so lovingly let us hold you tight and at times wonder if you were about to be reunited with the God of all things. In such a short time you have survived a life-threatening sinus infection as well as what could have been a very badly positioned brain cyst. By the grace of God alone you were healed from the infection and the cyst rendered harmless (it is now merely a spot on the MRI). You are a child of God and He has clearly reminded us that we are merely privileged with training you in His ways.
I have no doubt that God has greatness planned for you. You have a strong will that you are learning to channel into the most amazing behaviors and you seem to be using this gift to positively affect others. I love watching how you interact with your older brother and with your younger sister. You have strength, conviction, and such a loving way with them. Of course you also tussle and squabble with them, but I know that you will always be there for them.
You melt my heart with your smile
