     Nathan Lake, who was born with facial deformities and has had numerous surgeries, updates us on what has been going on with him. He's now married and is enjoying life.

 Nashville, TN., March 29, 2014~

Hello, all!

Sorry it's been a while since I last put pen to paper, but you know how life goes .... still, I can't complalin: life for me and my wife, Krysta, couldn't be better.  We are incredibly blressed!

We have settled into life as a married couple.  Krysta is everything I can find in a woman/wife.  She's beautiful, sweet-natured, smart, and can defend herself when the time comes.  I don't know what I've done to deserve her; if she had met me when I still had my messed-up face, she would have probably ran off, screaming.  

I am no longer working at the pizza place: I have a new job.  I am working at a computer store, where I fix/repair computers.  The pay is much better than it was when I was working at the pizza joint and I have weekends off, too, which is a plus, because I don't miss church.  I go just about every Sunday 'less I have prior plans or if I (or Krysta) are sick.

By this time next year we hope to start a family.  Krysta and I would both love to have children.  I'm not worried that my child would inherit my facial deformity; the doctors still aren't sure as to what caused me to have such a messed-up face; it was just a fluke of nature, but in the end, it turned out to be a blessing in disquise once the teasing, stares, comments, and finger-pointing stopped.  Now that I look much better, I don't let it bother me, but I do have pictures of myself to remind myself where I once was.

If our child ends up with a deformed face, then it's meant to be; God will get us through it, and we will do all we possibly can to help our child.

And we can trust in God to get us through whatever we (or our child) may face in life.

We would like a boy.  

I would name him Nathan Krystopher, Nathan after me, and Krystopher being the male counterpart of Krysta.  :)

Well, the weather is beautiful: sunny and cool, with temperatures in the sixties.  Supposed to be just as nice here in Nashville, before the rains/clouds move in; might as well enjoy and take advantage of it by going to the park and then maybe out to eat and perhaps a movie.  I will write in here again soon; sorry for waiting so long to do so!  Take care and God's blessings upon you!

~Nathan.  :)

EXCELLENT, Karen! Sounds like things are improving for Nathan and his family. One reads one word through this character's narrative: GRATITUDE.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Very nicely done Karen. If this story is true it's good to hear much progress has been made since the last letter from Nathan.
Peace, love and blessings,
