So let's start at the beginning...

6 yrs. Ago

Sammy Jo is here.
She's crying.
Then she says "Guys I'm pregnant."
And starts crying again.
We stand there in shock.
Not knowing what to do we just look at her sitting on our couch.
"I have not told anyone. You guys only know."
"Not even your mom? Or dad?" Says mom
"No."

Present

Sammy Jo had her child.
She named her Taylor.
Everybody loves Taylor she's so cute.
Everyone also loves Sammy very much.
Sammy had another kid 2 years ago.
His name is Rhett.
He's adorable.
Last October before Halloween Sammy Jo was admitted to the emergency room.
She was very sick. The doctors cured her but then something else made its way into her.
This continued for 9 months.
New sicknesses showing up one after another.
For a while she was in a coma.
Taylor and Rhett are much too young to understand what is happening expect that mommy is very sick.
Sammy Jo used to be a pony girl.
She died last night in the hospital after getting a very rare heart disease that many have died from.
This is gonna be the first 4th of July that I'm not gonna spend with her.
She died on June 25, 2016.
I can't stop crying. For Sammy Jo. For Taylor. For Rhett.
Taylor is old enough to have some memories of her mom, but Rhett, he's barely 2.
I don't know what to do. There's nothing I can do expect turn cold.
I'm so sorry Taylor and Rhett. Especially Sam.
I would trade places with you so fast just to give Tay and Red their mother back. They won't know you personally now and I'm sorry.
I will do my best to look after little Tay.
Even if I am only 15. And I know everyone else well also look after them to the very highest, where you can touch the stars
So sorry Lane won't let your mom see the kids.
We miss you.

R.I.P. Sammy Jo M.
