peace is not something you wish for;
it's something you make,
something you do,
something you are,
and something you give away.
- robert fulghum


some of you might remember sam from before. i've photographed him a few times now--once with max, for the magic water project, and a couple of family sessions last year--and this time was the best i've seen sam look. he not only looked great, he was also in such wonderful spirits. however, his disease. like max's, has also recently progressed. a couple weeks ago, the scan showed two cancer spots on one leg, a spot on the other leg and a spot on his arm. he is now back on chemo and meds switched around and they are fighting like hell.

as i type, i think how ironic it is...sam holding up his peace signs when his body is a little war zone. he against the enemy, neuroblastoma. i'm sure that sam wishes nothing more than his body be at peace, with no more cancer. btw, the above photo is what sam did when i asked him to give me his cute look...he gave me peace signs.

and here's a shot of the boys together. such great little guys with tons of energy.
