He was born way too early – 3 months premature weighing only 2.8 pounds

Then he was FIVE – last surgery to repair his esophagus…first solid meal…removal of feeding tube

(1997)

Then he was TEN – struggling in school but surviving…facing all odds..learning new things

(2002)

Then he was FIFTEEN – a teenager…tall and lanky…still unsure of himself

(2007)

Then he was TWENTY – a young man…a high school graduate…first job

(2012)

Today he is TWENTY ONE
