Seeing you smile brings
joy to my heart. Drawing pictures with you brings me warmth. Nathaniel
Alexander Santana is a six year old boy that is still pushing through difficulties.
He brought to my attention that imperfection IS perfect. His little grin, perfect.
His laugh, perfect. Every inch that God created is perfect. He was born in
Northern Hollywood, California. Already shows that he is a star. He is a star
that shines so bright when you are in his presents. At birth he was diagnosed
with a heart defect; his intestines were not developed right, MR, and still has
managed to show us his strength after 19 surgeries. In this process since he
was 3days old to 11 months only once was he able to come home. It touches me
knowing his story born not even able to eat. Doctors did the best they could,
giving Nate four drops of milk in one hour. That is not much, not much at all. At
one point the doctor said he only had a couple days to a couple weeks to live.
Not only is Nathaniel growing
and learning how to live this life style but teaching me in the process. He
comes to the volleyball games, knowing me as “his girlfriend.” As I continue
talking with him, I learn how to sign. He is no different from you and me, if
not better. He can show all of us that we can be stronger then what we present ourselves
to be. <3
