Sleepless

I went to Sleepless in San Diego expecting to be touched by what I heard. I got there at seven and found Jen (an older student in the same year in the nursing program with me) and we started talking. Her kids were at the event too but at the moment they were playing with my professor's two kids. That's PLNU for you. One big family. They were all around the same age, ranging from 13-16 years old. And then I met Patrick, Jen's son. I had heard about him before and even seen this video of him on the Today show. Just talking to him was awesome. And you know what? His words weren't dripping with wisdom. He wasn't talking about deeply philosophical things. But his personality spoke volumes. Letting the other kids make him into a giraffe with cardboard. Laying on the ground with a fort being built around him. Just little things. Anyways, he's an amazing kid (guy) and I just wanted to tell you all a little bit about him in my way that doesn't usually make sense.
