I will miss you so much. You were a light in a dark world. A force to be reckoned with. You had so much happiness to offer the world.

Hi Sara, I don’t know if you remember me but we met like 4-5 years ago through Sam. I apologize that it has taken me a while to reach out, it has been very difficult coping with the loss of Sam and I just needed some time away from it to get myself back together. Sam was one of my best friends in high school. Specifically at the beginning of high high school experience and the middle of mine. I took him to my prom (he was a year younger than me), we hung out and partied, I cast him as my lead in almost everything I directed... we were very close for a while there to say the least. Beginning of his high school experience* He was just, such a unique caring person, somehow managing to balance being crazy and care free with being thoughtful and loving. I can’t imagine how you and your family must be feeling, but I am so so sorry you lost him. I have so many thoughts to describe who he was and how amazing he was, but so little words to do so.

I feel like I can just remember him so vividly now, his laugh, his voice, his greasy hair (before he ended up shaving it). I just know, that if he were here now he would want nothing more than for us to live life to the fullest for him. To not dwell in sadness.
Anyways. I wanted to give you and your family my prayers and provide you with this post I made. I also have photos on a story highlight I titled Sam in my profile. I have so many more videos and pictures if you would like them. Most of them are silly and nonsensical to anybody but he and myself but just say the word and I can send you my surplus of videos and photos.
