Dear Nicole,

    I've just read your updates!  I'm glad that it's written in English!!!  I'm also happy to see the picture I took of you when we went snorkling in Boracay!!!  I had a great time!  I'm looking forward for the next swimming event!!

    As what I've told you a year ago when we first met that me myself wasn't able to notice that your left leg is artificial because it really looks real, now I can prove to you that I wasn't joking because the two Australians and the German we met in Boracay also said the same!!!  They at first didn't know that you have an artificial leg not until we told them! It's such a great invention, isn't it?

    With your pure-motive in letting others know what you have experienced and will be having, is such a good deed.  May they also be able to feel the extreme change of life despite their being handicap...a new life...a new beginning... a continuation of ones dreams.

May you be blessed everyday especially this Christmas!

Take care and God speed!

your friend,
JAL
