Exceptional

Nate is a great friend. He is a scholastic decathlon winner. He's funny enough to make a living as a comedian. He's a true friend.

Nate was born with a very severe form of arthritis. His joints and bones are always hurting. He cannot walk very far, for very long. Altogether he weighs about 85 lbs, and has a handicapped form. He's been through countless surgery's, numberless doctor's appointments, each of which include numerous knee & hip replacements.
Nate is now a missionary.

He has worked hard, and finally achieved what many thought to be impossible. (For him.)
I'm so proud of you, friend! You've overcome years of that wheelchair, and multitudes of others telling you that you CAN'T. You can walk, you have strength... You can PREACH.

Thanks for being such a shining example to me!
