He is. Isn't the only difference that he's got a higher hurdle to clear?



I'm not trying to say that he's any less of a person. I meant that I didn't even notice him being different at first and it was something I only realized after interacting with him on a personal level.

More than anything I thought it was inspiring meeting him because he's done better than most of us who have it easier.
