My life today as I know it would be nowhere as meaningful without my brother in it. My brother Nathaniel was born with oculocerebrorenal syndrome, also known as Lowe syndrome. He was diagnosed with Lowe syndrome when he was a few days old. It affects the eyes, kidneys, and brain. He is very small for his age and is falling behind in his education. He goes to multiple appointments every month because of this syndrome. He is an inspiration to me and everyone he meets. He has lived his whole life dealing with all the surgeries and appointments with a smile on his face. My brother has been an inspiration for me my whole life. Has done many things for me, but the most important is he brought me closer to god. I ask god to help me get through any …show more content…

Even the small things like being able to jump is an accomplishment. When my brother was little we did not think that he would be able to even walk but he beat the odds and did it. Now he can run, jump, and even climb without the assistance of a wheelchair. My brother was one of the lucky ones, there are many Lowe syndrome boys that can not walk or talk because of the syndrome. We also doubted that he would be able to talk at all. Then at the age of four he said his first word. He surprised us all. Now he can carry on a full conversation with anyone who is around.He has affected my life much more than anyone will ever know. This is the most valuable lesson that my brother has taught me and I hope that he can teach me many more in the years to come. Another lesson that he taught me was that I should never judge anyone for who they are or what they look like. I learned that just because a person does not look like you they should not be judge or treated any differently than you and I. I know that if they are disabled they still might like the same things you do. I know someone that likes volleyball, singing, and gymnastics just like me. She is a normal person too. A lot of children and adults still judge them for what they look like, but I now know the truth behind all autistic

    Today, the most difficult day in my family’s life, we gather to say farewell to our son, brother, fiancé and friend.  To those of you here and elsewhere who know Dylan you already are aware of the type of person he was and these words you will hear are already in your memory.  To those who were not as fortunate, these words will give you a sense of the type of man he was and as an ideal for which we should strive. My son has been often described as a gentle soul.  He was pure of heart and had great sensitivity for the world around him.  He had a way with people that made them feel comfortable around him and infected others to gravitate toward him.  Dylan exuded kindness and pulled generosity and altruism out from everyone he touched.  He was everyone's best friend.
