Best friends Odin Frost and Jordon Granberry both have special needs and grew up together in Tyler, Texas. Both were given a roughly 2 percent chance of survival by their doctors, but on July 16 they graduated from the same high school, defying their shared prognosis.

Odin and Jordon had an “immediate bond,” Odin’s father, Tim Frost, told CBS News. Their bond persisted as the two 18-year-olds, both almost completely nonverbal, received their high school diplomas side by side from Wayne D. Boshears Center for Exceptional Programs.
