Samuel Calhoon Obituary

Samuel Calhoon Even though it's been a year, tears still flow everyday. We miss you so much. Love, Mom, Greg and Kayla Too Late I cannot explain the way I feel. I'm still hoping this all wasn't real. I feel that when I go to sleep. It gives me a chance to weep. My mind is spinning at a horrible rate. Because by the time they tried to save him it was too late. That day will replay in my mind. Till it is my time. Waiting for the phone to ring hoping it was all just pretend. At 9:00 that night my uncle's life had reached the end. My father held his hand as the light left his eyes. The doctor said he's gone and my daddy sighed. Now we are all left with a hole in our lives where he used to be. I love you Sam and you really meant a lot to me. Although he's gone I will still keep him in my heart. I just wish I could've said goodbye before he had to part. I'm trying to stay strong for Oma and daddy. But Sam I doubt I will ever be truly happy. So now you're in God's hands and he will take care of you. I just wish there's more we could do. They say time heals. It never will change the way I feel.
