PATTY

I have spoken often of God in this story. In my life I have yelled for him, yelled at him, listened to him, screamed out in vain where I hoped he was, forgotten him, been blind to him, fallen in love with him, given thanks to him and despaired for him.

God has been an integral part of my life and without him I would, to put it quite simply, not be here today. I know that sounds melodramatic, but I’m afraid it’s quite true.

I can also say that without one particular person I would not be here. Without my beautiful wife, Patty, my life partner, my honey, the object of my desires (hee hee hee) I would have long ago found my way to another world of either insanity, despair or oblivion. I don’t always understand why she has stayed with me through the ups and downs and stupidity I have shown. Or why she has remained with me when I’ve been a total maniacal raving idiot, filled with anger and idiocy. Remained with me when I sunk to the bottom of the pit and could not climb out on my own. Remained with me whether I’ve been a pathetic withdrawn lump or an out of control angry young (or old) man.

She was always there for me, always ready to stand by me and help me find my way. Lend me a hand, provide encouragement, offer advice. Whatever it took, Patty was there for me. I was not always a nice guy, and no matter how hard this may be for you to accept, STILL am not always a nice guy. (Just kidding there, folks. I’m human, Butthead is my middle name and I KNOW it is very easy indeed to imagine me, or anyone else, not always being Mr. Nice Guy.)

Patty is a very warm person. I call her my rabbit because she kind of bounces around the house in rabbit-like innocence and happiness. Her best artwork consists of whimsical animals drawn in a style that just makes you happy. She is very smart, and also very direct. She balances me and helps me maintain my sense of direction. She is honest and pure and wonderful and I am !#@! on a shingle without her.

You know the wedding vows say, “…in sickness and in health, til death do we part.” Dude, that is SOOOOO easy to say, and much harder to live. Patty has lived it for me and in me. I have tried to do the same with her, but I know that I have failed her some of the time. But I reckon I make up for it the REST of the time…

There are three kinds of love: Eros, Philos and Agape.

Eros is erotic love, the love that a man and woman have. This is all about sex that is shared together, but it also includes intimacy and special quiet moments together. (Give me a minute here, I’m getting caught up in the moment. Just kidding.)

Philos love is brotherly love, thus Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love.
