My Guy...


In His Happy Place


Sam, joining the band; Oct. 2007-Molex Chili Cookoff


Days after Eddie was born, Sam bought his first mandolin and began filling our house with beautiful music. I remember laying on my bed next to my swaddled newborn. It was winter time. Sammy was in the next room playing a happy, simple tune he had just learned. Baby was sleeping. In that moment I felt such gratitude. From the start, my boy was going to grow up in a home filled with beautiful music made by his dad.

What a treasure Sam's playing has been in our home.

I love to watch (and listen to) Sam. It has become a true joy for him and for our whole family. It's just one of the many reasons my guy is the ultimate dream boat.

I have similar memories. I loved to hear Sam play his harmonica at night when we both had rooms (if that's what you'd call where I slept) in the basement.
