All about Sam!!! This weekend is dedicated to Sam.... August 14-17, 2015!
Back a few months ago, our bestie Sam who is known as Diesel's Mom, and the Artistic Bulldog told Mommy some of her upcoming plans.
She was going to open a Studio. A full-fledged studio of Art. That would mean a huge change in her life, and at the same time, her Mr. was offered an amazing opportunity to relocate. While this was all scary, it was very exciting.
Sam has been a friend to Bulldog's and Pugs through her artwork. As well as other breeds, she started working on a few other projects. Three years ago when we joined Twitter and met Sam, she became an instant friend. One that you could really admire. When my crazy Mom started doing fundraising for the bulldogs in our group, Sam was there to lend a hand and talent. She would often donate to Mom's causes, or give such a discount it was unheard of. Each participant who won one of Sam's creations were so excited. It was the reason to donate. Through all of this, we as a family developed a real friendship through the miles apart. We would check in on each other, listen to each other, and just be happy friends.
Sam has made countless art pieces for our Rainbow Bridge friends, and she has never said no, even when I knew she was very tight on time. When I needed a cartoon drawn, she was there. Sam is our friend.
What better way to celebrate your friend's success than to host a little get-away. Sam was scheduled to be in Wildwood, NJ this coming week. Many East Coasters were within a few hours away, my Mom decided to fly up from Florida. This weekend is all about Sam and her accomplishments, and sending her off. A small token of love and gratitude to an artist so rich in love and talent. So the swag bags were started, the items have been placed and shipped and we are ready...Let's have fun!
Sam is our star. Her studio will be magnificent and we can say we knew her when...
While the plans worked into place, and the recent relocation just happened, it became epic. Endless opportunities and new challenges will be before her. I am most certain we will see big things from her.
On a personal note, there are only a small handful of people we call friends, real friends. Having an online friendship is often scuffed at, but ours is much more than that. So while we celebrate Sam during the weekend, know that are hearts are sad, there will be a 3 hour delay in our morning texts, and we will have to fly 3000 miles instead of 1000 miles.
