A Heart of Joy

Sam is 34 today. He makes my world a brighter place. But it’s not only my world; it seems to be every life he touches. He enthusiastically shares his positivity with his family and friends and serves as motivation for more tangible change. He is always selfless and helpful; a constant reminder that we all could exercise a degree of control in a world that seems full of negativity and chaos. Positive control, positive actions for positive relationships. His middle initial could be P for positive…but it’s not, it's J for Joseph, or as I sometimes pinch myself…J for the joy he brings to my life.





A few of his nicknames:

My friend: SAM - U- eL
Me:  SAM.BO
His late Grandma S.:  SAMMY
Me:  My Baylor Bear
A Friend:  HAM
Me:  SAM
College Nickname:  Sam-I-Am

Our Song:  I Was Country...Wasn't Cool.  Barbara Mandrell  (Yes, I know that is hard to believe)

Samuel Joseph...a shining light in my life, always.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON. 1.28.11
