Another special day, 3/23, allow me to explain, if you please.

Our buddy Pat Welsh was born on this day, a gem of a guy, everyone would say. He left us three years back now, seems like yesterday, somehow, still celebrating his birth, his time on this earth,

Taken way too soon, did so much in the time he had, filled everyone around him with love, joy, light burning bright, even in the darkest night,

We are all better for knowing him, his family and friends proof-positive of the love we all shared, still share, because his light still shines bright, right in our hearts, heads,

AMEN.
