Patrick Michael Toombs, my only son, was loved by all who knew and understood him. During most of his young life he was riddled with pain from numerous accidents that left him suffering and with continuous pain. He still loved life and mostly saw good in people. Patrick loved animals and children and was a wonderful father of three, yes three kids, he loved his kids deeply. Through his legal addiction to pain killers, his life often took a turn for the worse and made his short life hard. His suffering was horrible to watch. Many people forsook him and very few people stood by him. As his mom I often wondered what Patrick could of become if none of the bad things had not happened to him. He was such a smart man: handsome, patient, kind, always forgiving, he loved music and could he sing, he loved building cars, cycles and fixing them. He could fix anything. Two days before his death Patrick told me "thanks mom for giving me life, thank you for not grounding me up and flashing me down a toilet, I love life. Thank-you for being a decent woman and not shaming me and behaving and looking like a fool. I'm so proud of you." I will miss you forever my dear boy. I am glad that I had you too Patrick, I'm so happy for giving you life, I too am glad I got to know you and thank-you for being my son. I was so very proud of you. You never ever shamed me. You were the light of my life. I loved talking to you 3-4 times a day. You called me every morning 9 sharp. I shall never forget you. You are my hero and always looked out for me. I always felt safe knowing that you were my protector. I'm so glad you liked my Jeff and said "we looked cute together."I so much want to believe that there is a heaven and that you are with our family and good friends and with all the wonderful pets we loved and shared together. I so much want you to have peace. I know you have no more pain and that you are smiling and happy. Most of all, my dear boy, when it is my turn to leave this earth that you and people who I loved will be waiting for me. You are now my guardian angel and will watch over me until my death. I will continue "to do you proud." I will somehow get over this and do my best while I am alive. Mom
