Nehemiah lived and loved.
In his last days of his eighteen years, Nehemiah modeled the profound. He led. He checked the box.
He led a life of gratitude. He laughed, had the best smirk, and cheered up the air with funny quips and humor. He lived thoughtfully and with kindness. Nehemiah saw past societal lines and did not stop to resent or hold grudges. He strived and laughed and lived fully.
