Yes, yes, so much yes. I found myself tearing up at this, because it really hits the nail on the head for me as far as what it is about Sammy that I just love.

I'm so hard on myself and my own mistakes, and it's a real stretch to embrace the idea that the flaws and mistakes that make us human - even the monumentally disastrous ones - are forgiveable precisely *because* we're human, and because we keep trying, in the hope of one day redeeming ourselves and making our overall contribution to the world a positive one.
