I don\u2019t remember how but Patrick\u2019s nickname around the house was Mr. P and after he earned his doctorate, it became Dr. P. <\/p>\n
Patrick is the youngest of my brothers and sister. I was around when he was growing up but by that point I was in grade school so I wasn\u2019t around during the day and I had friends I would hang around with in the summer. But I loved to play with him. <\/p>\n
I was old enough that I could pick him up and carry him, which was nice.<\/p>\n
We both share a love of gaming and have similar tastes in fiction. If I find a book that I know Patrick will like, I feel comfortable recommending it to him.<\/p>\n
His hand eye coordination is amazing. I can\u2019t play video games that have a timed reaction component to them. I learned that early on. But Patrick was really good so I watching him play Tomb Raider and the first Star Wars game and other video games that I didn\u2019t have a hope of getting through the first screen. <\/p>\n
He has the courage of his convictions.<\/p>\n
He is a wonderful father to his daughters. I love watching him with them. <\/p>\n
We use to play dungeons and dragons together. He loved playing Car Wars and was very good at it. He took to table top gaming which I really didn\u2019t. He is an incredible miniature figure painter. I remember introducing him to Warhammer.<\/p>\n
He is clever and smart. I know he is smarter than me on so many subjects. Brain the size of a planet describes him well.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s still (and he doesn\u2019t care for the phrase) my baby brother and I love him.<\/p>\n
Happy Birthday Dr. P from your Big Sister. <\/p>\n
I am grateful that Patrick is still in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
