I have only met Sam through a 2 hour documentary and 13 minute YouTube video. The impact on me and my inspiration to live is nothing short of miraculous. He truly taught me to joyfully and cheerfully do those things I can, whether I want to or do, whether I like it or not. He showed me to acknowledge those things I can't do and find solutions and support to overcome. He demonstrates how a life can be transformed and have purpose through control of the power of a positive attitude and owning the time we have as long as we have a breath in our bodies. I don't know what religion he subscribed to and I don't care, because it's never revealed. What I do know, I want to be like Sam Helping others with no strings attached Ensuring every encounter is an exceptional experience; encouraging, enlightening, and empowering Responsible for all the thing I can do, and seeking solutions and support for those I can't Optimism revealed through a positive attitude and that dreams, hopes, and desires are independent of mortality that is sooner rather than later. I must also witness for my God. From my Christian perspective, I see His will and purpose in Sam's story; surrender, patience, hope, extra time, grace, and power in death. Sam was diagnosed with progeria at age 2, 90% of kids are dead by age 13. Sam lived until 17. And what a life!!! A Beacon of Light in this world of darkness and reflection of God's grace.
