When I originally planned this series, it was going to showcase favorite moments or images from Patrick's life. And though I've been doing more traits and characteristics with multiple photos, there are some great singular images I want to share.

This first one is shortly after he was given this great froggy fleece blanket. As I mentioned before, with the exception of trips, I have slept under this blanket every night for the more than five years since he passed. It keeps me feeling connected to him and surrounded by his love.

This picture also has his signature grin and eye twinkle, all flirt and joy even when stuck in the hospital. In many ways, this is such a quintessential Patrick picture. I hope you love it as much as I do.
