Just stopping by to say HEY to you all! As always it's so wonderful to read about all of the incredible improvements that Sam continues to make. It seems that he's really flourishing at CareMeridian...I'm sure that having loving family and friends so close has been some of the best therapy. AND CONGRATULATIONS ERIC & WENDY!!! What a great story about how you met. I saw the comment above mentioning how amazing it is that Sam had everything to do with uniting 2 soul mates who lived miles and miles apart - it is truly amazing!! Great work Sam! :) Awesome new pics -- Sam, you just keep looking better and better with each one. And what a beautiful little baby in the pics!!!! Thoughts, prayers, support and loads and loads of extra special Angel Hugs are always on their way to you all, each and every day. God bless you Sam, Erin, and the Nichols & Neria families. God bless you all. - Kris, a Soldiers' Angel from RI Hola Sam, Erin & Families!

What a delight it is to have you close to home (Yes, Sacramento is now my new home); a pure joy and honor that we are able to visit regularly and pray. Thank you, Julie, for taking our picture at Care Meridian--I wondered what that was about, and Tony- for acknowledging our marriage. You all are wonderful and the Nichols' are very blessed to have you as an extension to their family. Love, hugs, and prayers to all of you. Wendy Erin & Sam,
