I know he was a good friend to you Brian, as I'm certain he was to Simon, Cam, and others you ahe mention to me.
Please extend to his family my heartfelt condolences on their loss; but, as Cam says, he most certainly ,must be in abetter place. Lord know he suffered this past few months terribly, and hid it so well from all of you.

I don't know how to post to someone I never knew, or never knew I knew.
Tell us about him, if you may,please?

Patrick was 19, he and I have the same Birthday. He's from Belfast, Ireland, going to University in England. He loved lakes, he spent a year in the U.S. traveling around the great lakes. The past few days, Patrick, his brother, and a couple friends spent time visiting the "Lake District" in England, so I know he was very happy to have done that. He played football "soccer" for the University team. He's been hiding that he had cancer for the past 7-8 months. He didn't want anyone to treat him any different just because he was dieing. He was so much fun to chat with, I'm just sorry I never got to meet him. He didn't deserve this, he was so sweet.

I will keep the present tense.
He was in my prayers already. I just wanted us to know more about him.

Before I listened to him die last night, I made the others in the house promise to let his brother be with him when the time came. They did as I asked. His brother ran away from home to be with Patrick. I just feel that this will make him stronger later in life.
Did I do right?

He is in my prayers as well, as are you and his "family", Bri.
Did you do right? I would be surprised if you didn't. Who's idea was it for his brother to be present, and why was it necessary to run away to be there?

To lose a brother is to lose part of yourself and not to allowed to be there is the cruelest act of all. His brother knew he was there and that's all that mattered. I'm so sorry that he had to run away to be there. Perhaps Patrick wasn't so scared with his brother near him.

His brother wanted to be there, Patrick at first said no, I told him he should try to spend some time with him, so before he could call and try to persuade his parents, his brother was knocking at the door. Seems his parents weren't to sure of the idea, but they weren't going to make him come home once they knew he had made the journey safely. He's only 15, and wanted to be with his big brother.

Unfortunately, too, impending death forces us to say things we should have said long ago but have little time left to do so. If this were anything like that, or if the brother could provide a little comfort, being apart would have been a second tragedy, IMHO.

I miss him so much already.
I can only imagine how his family feels. I feel bad when I laugh because I have lost someone very special to me and i feel like maybe I am ignoring the fact.... I'm not sure.

We will miss you alot my friend.
There was so much we didn't get to say
to each other . So much we could have learned
from each other . But God needed you with
him to help him to do his work in Heaven.
I will miss ours talks and your kind words
and your friendship . Until we all meet again ..
Friends Forever ..
