So, I was going through a box in the attic and came across a stack of faxes & notes from Pat. Funny. There's a reason I saved many of his notes. Mostly, they made me smile and still do. His handwriting was one of a kind. When we both had fax machines, he loved to fax jokes, notes, sometimes it was truly just to say "I love you" and send me a quote to remember. As you can see here, this was one of his original aliases, Otto. If he stopped by my house, he'd always leave a note. He made endless lists and then loved scratching out things he had accomplished...and then he'd make another list. ha.
So Pat, thanks for all the notes. Love you lots.

Xochi thanks for that reminder.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone who's writing is so him and not like anyone else.
I love him offering advice and putting the notes about. And what was that game you had where you held you fingers in a circle Zelgo. I remember how you used to fax things like that. He always had so much fun and not everyone even knew it was happening, just the people involved at the moment
Love to come and visit Patrick here. You reminded me we had a fax machine in our home at the store. It happened to be in Ginnie's bedroom. The fax would to off at different hours of the night and it would a joke from Patrick. He loved to share and I am honored to be one of the people he had included in his sharing.
