Happy Birthday to Lefty's mom, Pat. Of all the love I have been given over these past few weeks, I don't know that anything can compare with the incredibly strong message of love, courage, and optimism that I got from her. A week ago, I got to talk to her on the phone, and I found out that I have had a friend for a long time, but just got to know her recently. I know now where my dear brother Lefty gets that inner drive to play so well - thanks for the love you give to all of us, Pat, and for inspiring your son to play the music that was in his head and in his heart. We are all the richer for that, and for you, too!
May God bless and keep you always, my friend.
Love,
