Sam. I don’t know where to start with this incredible woman. Maybe I should start with the humble message she sent me a couple of years back during her battle with cancer and chemo. The most earth grounded request to document those days, not knowing the outcome, but being told that she would most likely not have children; after a pregnancy was actually the cause of it all. I of course said yes, although feeling unprepared and did what I felt my heart could do best. I feel I sometimes “distance” myself from events like these, as it brings up so many memories of my own father’s fight with cancer, maybe I never dealt with the hurt and it hurts too much to think of others going through the same, if not worse. I was so young, naive and just hadn’t been exposed to positivity like Sam showed me. I met her for the first time with the biggest smile on my face and thankfully the second time we met, I saw that same smile, but for a completely different reason. It’s a never ending learning journey this life, but  I’ve started to believe. In what exactly? In humans, kindness, positive thoughts, love, energy and that we all truly hold the power to do so much great when we believe. Thank you Sam for believing in yourself and believing in me; for sharing it all. And to that great man standing by your side every step of the way, Adam.
