“Hey love, I don’t think we’re going to be able to see you again before we leave, but it was really good seeing you on Friday. You are beautiful in so many ways. Take care of yourself and keep me posted on your life. You are far more special to me than you probably realize. Love you.”

- Pat King

patrick king is one of my favorite people ever. one of the only people i have grown up with who truly understands me as a person, an artist, a musician, a punk and a crazy, neurotic, wild, bipolar wanderer. i hold him in a special place in my heart. i wept when he left and rejoiced when he was married. he is a wonderful father and the nicest, most compassionate person i have ever met. love you, uncle. i miss you so much.
