puppetmakerI don’t remember how but Patrick’s nickname around the house was Mr. P and after he earned his doctorate, it became Dr. P.
Patrick is the youngest of my brothers and sister. I was around when he was growing up but by that point I was in grade school so I wasn’t around during the day and I had friends I would hang around with in the summer. But I loved to play with him.
I was old enough that I could pick him up and carry him, which was nice.
We both share a love of gaming and have similar tastes in fiction. If I find a book that I know Patrick will like, I feel comfortable recommending it to him.
His hand eye coordination is amazing. I can’t play video games that have a timed reaction component to them. I learned that early on. But Patrick was really good so I watching him play Tomb Raider and the first Star Wars game and other video games that I didn’t have a hope of getting through the first screen.
He has the courage of his convictions.
He is a wonderful father to his daughters. I love watching him with them.
We use to play dungeons and dragons together. He loved playing Car Wars and was very good at it. He took to table top gaming which I really didn’t. He is an incredible miniature figure painter. I remember introducing him to Warhammer.
He is clever and smart. I know he is smarter than me on so many subjects. Brain the size of a planet describes him well.
He’s still (and he doesn’t care for the phrase) my baby brother and I love him.
Happy Birthday Dr. P from your Big Sister.
I am grateful that Patrick is still in my life.
