An open letter to God:
Dear God,
As you know, Nate is coming home. Please know how many people down here love him and will miss him.
Please know that his family is among the strongest things you have ever made. They are stronger than the redwood trees.
Since we can't know the hows and why of what you do, please have mercy on his family and on all of us.
I do know that just coming into the briefest contact with this fine creation of yours named NATE has made me and many others down here better people.
We love Nate, and know you do too.
When he get there show him a really good time. He deserves it.
Yours,
Jim Gale
