Nathaniel Nelson, 13, was clearly overwhelmed by seeing Tebow that he immediately broke into tears.

Nathaniel Nelson has been at Wolfson for about two months, undergoing treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. The super-fan’s room was filled with gear from the Florida Gators, the University of Florida football team for which Tebow played as a quarterback.

“I just busted out laughing”. “Meeting Tim Tebow was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”.

Former Heisman victor Tim Tebow is still making people smile. What an incredible young man!

He then simply thanks Tebow for taking the time to visit him – a showing of gratitude that Tebow promptly responds to calling the visit his pleasure.

Nathaniel is visibly left speechless at the sight of Tebow, before finally letting out “wow”. “I’ve been married for 26 years, we didn’t [have sex], and that’s why I’m still married”. Yes, I beat him.
