71* Dec. 27, 2008

From Fall 2011

Samantha's best friend in Ohio is lying in a hospital bed dying & the doctors have no idea why.  She's gone from a healthy vibrant 14 year old girl 6 months ago to lying in the hospital on a ventilator.  Sam is dealing with the fact she most likely will never see her again in this life.  It's hard watching her hurt so much.  She's not one to show much emotion & rarely cries.  She's been all tears.  It's times like these that the gospel is so comforting.   Knowing where she is going and that you'll see her again.
