OK, here it goes. After talking with Patrick's Dad so often it has come to show you what we already know of the young man. This will be the letters from Patrick as put into words by he & his father. What a GREAT boy God has allowed us to meet. Chapter 1: Patrick would like convey the following (my words will be in parenthesis): I hope to see you again, soon. I had fun Saturday I would like to get flames painted on my chair (Paul suggested on the discussion board). When you come back, I'll let all of you see my room with all of the posters hung up on the wall, which will hopefully be early this week (the posters hung, although I don't think he would mind seeing you again early this week). I enjoyed all the colors of the cars that came to visit and was impressed by the care that you take of your cars. Thank you for your time and patience (he means how long you were here) and coming all this way just to see me. Thank you for buying my lunch, although something just came over me and I didn't feel like eating at the time (he said the excitement affected him in a digestive sort of way). Thanks for the posters and all the gifts, somehow I would like to repay you for all of the gifts, I will try to figure out how, but I just don't know how yet. I asked Patrick what he thought when he saw ya'll coming down the street: "I came outside because my dad wanted me to see some airplanes flying by. (how fortuitous that the army would have some cargo planes fly by about two minutes before you arrived, this was about three minutes after the rain stopped!) I was thinking, 'I want to go back inside and watch my Monty Python movie'. (I had him doing this to keep him busy until the surprise came) "Then I heard a siren and I thought somebody was doing something bad. I saw the KSWO truck (they forgot to park down the street) and I wondered what was going on. My dad told me that they must have heard I did my school homework and came to take my picture. Then I saw a Prowler behind the flashing lights of the police car, then two Prowlers, then three Prowlers, then four Prowlers and I thought there may be more than that. I didn't expect there to be thirteen, I lost count. I thought they might be lost, I didn't know why they came by. I didn't know they would come back so when they did, I wondered, why are they blocking the street? They got out and my dad said, 'Come on in, we've got a pot roast made' (I never know what to say). I knew he was joking about the pot roast because I didn't smell anything at the time. Everybody was filming me and taking my picture and I was beginning to feel important. I remember that my mouth was wide open the whole time and I made sure I wasn't drooling. I noticed people were getting out and had bags in their hands. They began putting things in my lap and soon everything was piling up and one of the drivers offered to hold those for me (I think its was Jody Rosenberg). The first things I received were framed pictures of Prowlers, it looked like more than 15-20 in one (he is referring to the picture taken at TMS). Then t-shirts were unfolded and handed to me, then Paul began to describe them. Paul then handed me two fancy Prowler pins that I could use as tie tacks, an inkpen that looked interesting, like one I had never seen before. Then Paul or David gave me a gold Prowler watch, it looked nice. I was hoping it would be digital, but it will do fine (Patrick likes to know the time instantaneously and to the minute). I also got a some metal Prowlers, a purple one and a red one. I was wondering what would come next, and J P Roberts handed me his radio controlled Prowler that he said he had for a while and wanted to pass it on to me and I could tell that he was thinking about how I should take care of it. Although he didn't say that, I could tell that he was going to somehow. Probably something you don't say to people when you give them something. I was told I could ride in one, but I thought driving would be better. I liked riding in one because because I wouldn't have to worry about getting tired from pushing the pedals. When I was put into George's car, I couldn't see over the dashboard. So my dad put my wheelchair cushion under me and it helped a little. I wasn't too satisfied with it but I didn't complain because I didn't think it would show my gratefullness very good. It was nice of you to forget about the rain and come down. That is chapter one, I'll try to get other chapters as they are related to me. Patrick is very tired and wants to go to bed. Chapter 2: |
