Pips, I'm so sorry about that. That must have been (must still be) a horrible thing to live through. Can definitely see where Sam would be the model there.
For me, it's Pippin; a little too inquisitive for my own good sometimes, and a talent for getting into trouble way over my head when traveling; for him, the burned hand (metaphorically) taught best and for me it was the (literally) scarred hand. Another story for another time...
