Samuel Ronald Devera

A friend told me a story about Samuel. During Winter there was a snow day and thus no school. Samuel went to his friends house to ask him to spend time together. His friend told Samuel that he was home schooled and had two more hours of homework/school. His friend finished his school work and got ready to go to Samuel's house. Samuel's friend opened his front door and Samuel had been on the porch waiting for 2 hours for him. Showing our son's values and commitment to his friends and family, he was loved and gave love back.
