Oh, this was so sad.
I want to hug Patrick now than I did previous to reading this. I could just imagine the whole thing in my head, and I imagine I was making a sad puppy face at my laptop.
Your stories are so always so well written, and thorough, and just generally wonderful. A lot of people just write sad stories that are vague and sad, and just describe the emotions and give no back story as to what sparked these emotions. But when you write it as you did, then it just makes for an excellently sad Peterick.
That sounded really morbid..

Sorry about the sadness.
I always want to hug Patrick. And Pete. And Mikey (but that's irrelevant).
Thank you very much! It really means a hell of a lot to me that you think so highly of my writing; thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely, kind review! :D
