Sam is so excited to see his favorite artist @NiallOfficial on Thursday!!

@NiallOfficial please play Night Changes on the 13th at MSG!! It's one of Sam's favorites and he'd love to hear it live!!

@thesummeritp @NiallOfficial I am the biggest Niall Horan fan ever! I am 12 years old and have a very rare terminal brain disease with no cure. It would mean a lot to get a candle signed by my favorite singer!

Happy 4th! So grateful for friends who always make sure Sam can be part of the celebrations.....

It's Sam's turn finally. He had his first Covid vaccine this morning (so far no reactions). This is such a huge relief for our whole family.

This fall we decided to sign Sam up for baseball with the Miracle League. This was one of the best decisions we ever made, Sam LOVED it and we loved meeting other families who are also raising severely disabled children. Sam can't wait to be back in the spring! #miracleleague

Picked up Sam from @DoubleHRanch this morning after a great few days of summer camp! So grateful to Double H for finding a way to make this happen this summer.

In Sam's words "I had a great, great time! It was so fun!"

It is impossible to feel sorry for yourself when Sam, who can even sit without help, wouldn't change a thing about himself. 
His incredible positivity keeps us going, we are so lucky to get to spend every day with him.

[Sam VWM @SamvsVWM]

Today Sam's class was asked "If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?" Considering Sam's severe disabilities, the answer could have been so many things.
Sam's answer was "Nothing!"
