This last Monday, Sam's closest friend growing up, Scott Holyoak, took us boating on Saguaro Lake. We had so much fun with his family. Emmet and Emery weren't quite sure what to think at first. They had never been on a boat before. Emery was quite nervous most of the time and sat on my lap with her eyes closed! What was fun, was that the boat we were on was the same boat that Sam and Scott used when they were in high school. They went to the lake often. Scott told Emmet about how well Sam wakeboarded and pointed out the cliffs they would jump off of. Emmet couldn't understand why anyone would cliff jump. I laughed thinking one day Emmet would cliff jump himself and love every second of it. I relished every moment on the boat, I kept thinking to myself, "Sam has sat here and has touched every where I touched." I enjoyed swapping memories with Scott and his wife Lori. We laughed about all the funny things they did at the lake. Reminiscing about Sam and being able to show my kids a little about who there dad was wonderful.

What sweet memories. Can't think of the lake without thinking of Sam. Scott was always such a good friend to him. It's a amazing how those friendships endure!

Hi, my name is Emily McGuire - you don't know me but one of my best friends is Kim Cambell and i went to her sister's blog Danielle Caldwell and for some reason clicked onto your blog. I hope you don't mind me looking at your blog, but i have to tell you you are an inspiration. I have two young kids of my own and i can't imagine losing my husband. I think it is amazing how positive you are, and what a good mom you are for your kids. I wish you the best in your future.
