So pleased you had support on that day although I bet there were times you just wanted to be with your thoughts. I think it was a good thing you were surrounded by the love you deserve and needed.

Your story and subsequent posts have brought me to tears with each reading. Yet, they make me happy to know there are such loving and thoughtful people in this world. There is a lot of negative news and it's reassuring to read about the love and genuine concern that exists in so many.<br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-27358349663579604372019-09-25T18:16:32.864-07:002019-09-25T18:16:32.864-07:00I LOVED THIS AND DON'T YOU EVER EVER APOLOGIZE...I LOVED THIS AND DON'T YOU EVER EVER APOLOGIZE FOR WRITING ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS AND HOW YOU CELEBRATE YOUR SON!What BEAUTIFUL friends he has...............I have tears and have to do dinner now.<br />I have my PATRICK CARD just have-not given it away yet!THAT WILL BE HARD TO DO even if I do RANDOM ACTS of KINDNESS DAILY!I'm still thinking about HOW I WILL SPEND THAT TICKET I WANT IT TO BE A GOOD STORY FOR YOU!<br />The intersection is nothing how I imagined it to be!SO, what plants did YOU PLANT WE WANT TO KNOW!<br />I have a son story to share!My youngest turns 30 on Oct,First and he called wanting BULBS for his Birthday!MIXED COLORS......<br />He wants to put them down his driveway!I hung up the phone thinking I did SOMETHING RIGHT!!!IT made me SO HAPPY!<br />I'm sorry I missed your birthday........and THE DATE!<br />Just know I am HERE FOR YOU.<br />YOU are SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE..........<br />XOXOLa Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682902106545680159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-82062598376795107502019-09-25T16:14:30.903-07:002019-09-25T16:14:30.903-07:00Dearest Leslie, thank you so much for sharing thes...Dearest Leslie, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos as well as the soul touching events that went along with them. Your readers were thinking of you on that day. How kind of you to share how it went.<br />I have never had the privilege of meeting Patrick and yet with your one sentence about him nodding as one spoke, as if they were the only person in the world, I fully understood the magic of your son. That is such a rare and beautiful quality. It has a ripple effect...and the ripple continues not only through visits from friends and random acts of kindness but from the light within his soul. It continues to shine.<br />You can always be proud of being his Mom; he was extraordinary.Susan~aredheadonthegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939067358467559651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-68698414740975233062019-09-25T11:09:35.365-07:002019-09-25T11:09:35.365-07:00Such a wonderful celebration of this incredible pe...Such a wonderful celebration of this incredible person, Patrick.

Please know you, Jim and the boys are in my thoughts daily. I’m recovering from surgery but this weekend I had this overwhelming sense of grief and thought of you and wished I could be with you. I must have sensed all the love being shared this past weekend. Thank you for sharing your heart with us through your blog. You provide a deep sense of comfort and love with your words. Patrick was loved because you helped mold him into the beautiful spirit he was and that resulted in that warm light that he brought with him wherever he was. So much love to you!

It is so amazing to me that all those young people rented a beach house to stay by you and your husband and spend all that time with you. You are right - you are surrounded by love! That was pure love for Patrick right there. I had been thinking of you and your family and saying prayers and keeping you close in my heart.<br /><br />The 10th anniversary of Phil's passing is tomorrow. I am so apprehensive and anxious about it. I just want to push a fast-forward button. And my poor hubby has to work a 12-hour shift tomorrow; he couldn't even get off work. I feel so bad for him having to work on this date; he's going to have a hard time. I'll at least go visit him at work for lunch.<br /><br />Much love to you.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-80676169229081355002019-09-24T19:25:51.742-07:002019-09-24T19:25:51.742-07:00What a wondrous young man shining light and love -...What a wondrous young man shining light and love -- this is all such a lovely reminder to me to see my time as a gift.
