Good evening dear friends and family. We hope your day went smoothly today and that every one arrived home safely.The weekend is around the corner and more unpredictable weather may be ahead.
Growing up only 11 months apart, my Brother Scott and I were always like-hearted and shared a very special bond. I always felt very proud of my big Brother and the kindness that was in his heart. Scott’s a stock trader and I am a stay at home full time mom.
“Everybody loves Sammy” was born because of the inspiration that Sammy brought to Scott in his darkest hours. So not only only is Sammy my Nephew, but he is the dog that changed my Brothers life. Sammy’s happiness and love for the world has always been very contagious. Scott has always gone on and on about how many people approached Sammy when they were out for a walk together and how much he made them smile. He saw the effect that Sammy had on others and was inspired by it. From that point on, as he continued his usual everyday commute to the office, he also began to share Sammy with the world. He felt that if he did that, he could help others with a guaranteed smile, no matter how bad things were.
“Everybody Loves Sammy” is a labor of love within our family. It is our wish to make a footprint on this life, in the fight for love and compassion for all living things. This is what we pray for. We pray that all living things are given the chance to love and be loved. After all, what else is there?
We pray for a kinder world, a world where our children are safe in their own schools. We pray for an end to hate and ignorance. We pray for the end of sickness and hunger and ask for a return to humanity, above all things.
Special prayers going out tonight for Sweet little “Gidget”, who crossed over to the other side this morning. We pray for her beloved family, our deepest love to Laura. God give them strength at this difficult time. She would have been 14 in June and in Laura’s words she “was loved beyond measure”. God bless that little angel. Prayers also going out to “Tony the truck stop” tiger. May God guide all of those involved to make the best decision on his behalf. Please join us in praying for our friend Heidi, that just endured the loss and the funeral of he beloved cousin. She misses her deeply. For our friend Renee, we pray for her Sisters full recovery. She is presently battling a wdangerous case of the flu. Stay strong Renee. We send love for your Sister. And finally to Marilyn, a beautiful spirit inside and out, you are not alone. People in the hardest times are brought to their knees but God knows they can rise again and that is just when they do. There is a very strong purpose in your life. Please never forget that.
And to all of the beautiful animals inhabiting this earth, domesticated or wild, we pray for you tonight, as we do every night. To those being abused , abandoned, neglected and chained, we pray for a better life for you. We pray for the life that you truly deserve. We hear your voices. We hear your cries. No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen. Love, Sammy & Family
