About This Quote

The first time Sam met his father was in South Africa. It was a difficult time for both of them, but they managed to build a strong relationship. When Sam's father passed away, he wanted to show his gratitude to his late father by naming his first son after him. He named the son Sam, which is short for Samuel.
