Four Years
By Margot | March 12, 2014
It has been four years today. Four years without our funny, handsome, speed-loving, “live life to the fullest” little boy. We miss him so much. They say that there is a point where we will remember him with smiles and not pain but we certainly haven’t gotten to that point yet – though we do remember him with smiles and laughter, there is definitely still pain. But as much as I want to “It’s Not Fair!” my life away, I know that Sam did not and we owe it to him not to. It also struck me how little Andrew and Charlie look in these pictures compared to the boys they are today. Time slips away so quickly and I’m so proud of Sam and how he made the most of every moment – always looking for fun and laughter and always ready to make a joke.
We are in a new house now and will plant a new tree for Sam in a prominent place in our new back yard. We will go out for french toast this morning and take a bike ride this afternoon. We love you Sammo! So so much.

Thinking of you all. Sam is watching you, seeing his brothers grow and how strong you all are in your missing him. Love you all.

You have been in my thoughts all day. I wish you many smiles in your memories of Sam. I am sure that he will be with you in your new home and he will grow with that new tree – another one with lemons, limes, and oranges all mixed together. Jan

Home is where the heart is — and Sam is in all your Hutchison Hearts. Love that your new yard will host a mixed-up citrus salad tree in honor of your fun-loving, adventurous, smart boy. He is missed by so many, but lives on in you all. Wishing you love and laughter in your new house. Love all three Hutchison boys, and their parents. – The Bonebrakes

Margs and Redman..
Well, I think about Sammo everyday..how brave he was…how stoic..how funny..how he loved to trip his little brothers..how he really didnt like me coming over..he just wanted some peace..
I think he must have been the strongest little boy ever as he was so strong..and so stoic…
Thank you for allowing us outsiders to be part of his journey.
