... My Jonny's Surprise!
Hi, My name is Pat! Who am I? I guess the thing I'm proudest of is being a Mom to some amazing kids! I have received them 4 different ways. Giving birth to two remarkable sons.... oh man... found out that was kinda tough... so decided to adopt! Well.. actually my body shut down, and the "desires of my heart" were to have more children, and the Lord saw fit to place my 2 precious daughters in my care. I have a foster son also that I'm more than proud of and aquired 5 step children, that whether they understand it or not, I adore and pray for a closer relationship!

L O V E Y O U !
I have learned that blood is NOT everything, but BONDS are everything! And Jesus is so merciful to have blessed me with this HUGE family! So when you add them all up, that makes 10 kids in this yours, mine, and the only OURS that exists is our African Grey Parrot, Jasper... who will out live the BOTH OF US!!!!
I miss you, BOWZER! Altho you passed on 04/21/06, thanx for the 17 years on earth that YOU GAVE TO US! Such a precious PUP!!..
I don't believe God smiles on divorce, but I thank Him for His mercy, and after a long 23 year old difficult marriage, I found myself raising my daughters alone, thanking God that altho He doesn't like the sin, He still loves the sinner! My only goal was to raise my daughters in a peaceful environment that was their SAFE haven; one where they could learn NORMALCY and make right decisions when they, themselves were looking for someone to love for life, when their time came!
NEVER ONCE EVEN IMAGINED WHAT GOD'S BLESSINGS HAD IN STORE... I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRAY OR DREAM THESE DREAMS!!!
I'm newly married to my best friend, JONNY from high school which was something I never would imagine. 31 years later! Who would have thunk!!!!! But when both of us found ourselves single, we revisited this friendship and was astounded by this amazing gift God has given us! I truely NEVER anticipated or IMAGINED a life with My Jonny!
To be with someone who is caring and compassionate... doesn't argue, and even finishes my sentences, since he seems to read me so well... SO THIS IS WHAT BECOMING ONE IS SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE!!! I only hope for all our kids find this bliss in their marriages, even a fraction of how sweet this is for me!
THANK YOU JESUS, FOR MY MISSING PUZZLE PIECE!
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE
