Patrick, The Man In The Shed

This post goes out to our beloved "Patty-Cakes." What a character he was - to say the least. Sincerely though - I liked & still like Patrick. He was a trickster & stubborn yet brought a new atmosphere to the house - one that opened your eyes to a lot of things - the basic need for shelter, a bed to recover from BACK injuries & weariness, time to think about the things of life - to evaluate yourself spiritually, emotionally, mentally & physically; the desire to be loved & not be alone, the fact that we are all crazy & insane at some points of our life, the need to be firm with people - a form of love that most of us stray from yet once we rebuke our loved ones - we see the effect, the change, the beauty of loving in a way of helping build character.

Stretch out your hand, someone is waiting with theirs already stretched, even dirty, broken & weary....
