The hardest thing I've ever done is to learn to love myself, to have faith in who I was and what I was doing. Pat has been an amazing companion on what at times felt like an endless journey. There through all the doubts and all the fears. There for all the times I asked - in so many ways - "What does someone like yourself find to love in me?"
For Pat
Pat and I have been friends since college and life partners since 1990. In this room you’ll find songs and stories that shine a light our life together. It took a long time for me to realize and give voice to a lifelong challenge I’ve had which is believing I am worthy of loving and being loved. It took someone special to be there through it all. Pat’s that person with me for the long journey and there to greet me when I believe I’m finally home.
