[Papi]

My friends, I'm sorry for this inconvenience.

Here we are, it's that moment, a very difficult and uncomfortable feeling having to depart, saying goodbye to those with whom you had shared a very special day, true we met on the internet, strangers from YorkieTalk, yet after such warm and friendly fellowship, by day's end, I don't believe a one of us felt as a stranger, how could one when you were enveloped with generosity, kindness and encircled by love, yes my friends, it was all that and more, I never wanted to see this day end, I felt as if we had known one another a lifetime, we are now all gathered on the front lawn, Lori, Bre, Elaine, Butch and "T", Lori's car door is open, her precious Kodi and Daisey Mae all tucked in their respective seats, it was then I noticed there didn't appear to be much room left in Lori's car, it was packed beyond being packed, the only space I saw left was the driver's seat, I think it was Daisey Mae who had a car seat on passenger side, and one empty seat in back, I believe Bre and Kodi were going to share, and mind you they would not have Patticake taking up more room on return trip which led me to think how truly diificult, how tedious a task, how much hard work Lori and Bre had to contend with all the way from Nebraska, the inconvenience at the end of each day to carry there suit cases in, then again each morning, and as if that wasn't enough, they had to do the same with three Yorkie's, also take them for their potty calls, then what about all the hours of driving, the traffic, the stress of driving thousands of miles, with the responsibilty for her own and daughter's welfare and safe return home, and not to forget her precious babie's, yes, it was looking into Lori's packed car that all these thoughts flooded in, I fully recognized, appreciated deeply how selfless Lori truly is, the fullness of her heart and love she show's and extends to others, even a one time stranger, Papi, not that I didn't know all this befor, I reiterate, peering into the car gave me cause to reflect, search deeply into my mind and heart on just how great a sacrifice of love, Lori, and Bre made in behalf of Papi and Patticake which leads me to a quote most of you may be familiar with, " What greater love does any man/woman have, than to lay down their life in behalf of another" no Lori, Bre did not lay down their lives literally, though in retrospect, spiritually they did, how can my mere thank you, my appreciation ever do justice, suffice in the wake of such love, I can only say for sure, I am sincerely humbled Lori by your selfless act of love, and perhaps as I did in honor of Patti, Dan & Corinne, and Connie, I added your name as you know, I think you do, to the now official name Patticake of Concordalor, what other way could I possibly thank you for the love you have shown me other than you will alway's be remembered in the name along with the other four friends, as a matter of fact all of the Yorkie family who have supported, been with you and I from the beginning, and when you the friends or I relate the story of Papi & Patticake, please remember it's my thank you, my appreciation, my heartfelt gratitude for all you have done, given us, Papi & Patticake

Oh, my friends I thought I was going to complete this tonight, I'm sorry going to have to disappoint you again, I'm again beyond the limit of 10,000 charactors, please forgive me but it appears we're going to have another episode, Patticake Station #4, if it's any consolation, I believe it will only be another 4 or 5 short paragraphs, please don't hold me to that as I have truly become a YorkieTalk Yakker.
