Nathan’s Corner
Nathan was my best friend in college and one of my greatest supporters in life.
He greeted every moment with warmth, curiosity, and the excitement of what might come next. Our talks stretched endlessly—about space and planets, the open water, and ideas that made us feel small and infinite all at once. We were nerds, and proud of it.
Losing Nathan reminds me that while pictures may say a thousand words, they are silent on thousands more—the thoughts never spoken, the struggles unseen, and the weight some people carry quietly. This page exists for those unspoken moments, and for the people who deserve support before silence takes hold.
