I love how clear this is. I feel your happiness and your humor and your pain and your acceptance all at once. How do you do that??

I’d love to say something important here. Reading things like this helps me to justify my own feelings by seeing them reflected in others – and I’d like to repay the kindness. The world is so lacking in feeling and honesty these days and you always write so clearly and candidly. But I guess “Thank you” will have to do – because that’s as eloquent as I can be.

So…Thank you. You made my day.

Hi Pat,
That last part of the blog was beautiful, sad and true. It’s happening to me right now and I miss talking to my friend terribly, especially about books, but it’s what happens after graduating from high school. We start living our lives and forget the ones we left behind, sometimes without meaning to.
I love your blogs and book!Oot is adorable and Sarah beautiful! Sorry about your mom. Take care.
xoxo,
Sarai
p.s. You’re awesome!!!!!

Hi Pat,

I was going through your old posts and found this one. Just wanted to let you know that I was really moved by this “evening in the life”. I’m a bit of Ruh myself, having lived in more places than I can count in one hand, so I’m privy to that bittersweet sentiment of the parting of ways.

I can only give you a small comfort. When you’ve done it more times than it’s healthy for any sane human being, you start realising that even though time and space will always pull you further away from those you love, it’s always worth the pain to put yourself out there and do it all over again.

Hugs,

Joaquin

P.s: I’m the dude that sent you the video playing the 3-string guitar a few weeks ago.
