Tender heart

Sam is a tender hearted guy.  I was talking to Jer over breakfast about how Cristina's mom, Ramona (who is my mamita from my mission), has stage 4 stomach cancer and that Cristina's anxiety is going on the fritz.  She was taken to the hospital weeks ago to get tests done, but she tested positive for Covid and was hospitalized for a few weeks before they could even get the tests done for her.  Now she's too weak to do treatments.  They have said that the only hope is for her to try to get a lot of nourishment and get stronger so that they can even try to treat her.  Sam knows that Cristina's family doesn't have money at all.  They have 6 people in a two bedroom apartment living off of temp jobs.  Sam disappeared and came down with the cash from his room and quietly asked me to give it to them.  I love that he loves people.  Ramona wanted to get out of the house for a breather.  We took her on a drive to see the new Orem Temple building site and then past the Provo temples.  We came by our house after so that I could help Cristina fill out school registration forms for her 4 year old.  Sam was so worried about Ramona and kept asking if she was okay.  I love my boy.
