Dear Nick,
I was moved when you spoke at A.T.F. Growing up I never really had a father figure around. My dad was an alcoholic and my mom was, and still is, a pot head. I’m 16 now and things really aren’t different. When I was 11 I watched my step- dad get killed in a drive-by. It was in front of our house. I was devastated for the rest of my life. When I close my eyes I see his face in agony. After this weekend, whenever I close my eyes I see him smiling and I know he’s with God. I never really thought church was a place for me but I now know that God loves me. You showed me that no matter what comes our way, God is love. When I saw you on stage this weekend tears came to my eyes. At first, I felt bad because you have no limbs, except for that wicked cool foot. I realize you’re happy with the way God made you. I always thought God would never accept me. I am wrong. God loves me like no one else. His grasp on my life is unimaginable now. I started to follow what my mother and father did, drinking and smoking weed. It took a lot of effort, but God took that out of my life. I live for God now, and I’m always asking, “What can I do for you, my Lord?” The way God has touched me is life-changing. I can always count on him to be the Father I never had.

God bless you, Nick
