Happy Birthday, Sam

Sam is five years old today. When he woke up this morning, Henry wished him a happy birthday, and Sam replied, "Am I five today? I was four yesterday." He still has that frog. Dennis brought it to the hospital for him the day after he was born. He still has a sweet grin that looks something like that. Generally, his eyes are open a bit, though. Sometimes, when he smiles like that, he asks, "Do I look like Frodo?" Oh yes, Sam, you do, but your personality is a bit more like Pippin's.

Happy Birthday, Sweetie. I love you very much.
