Dear Pati,
How is it possible that you get more beautiful each year? I feel so blessed to have been able to know you and your wonderful family since you arrived at Clarendon. Even more blessed that you count us as your San Francisco family. Hope to see you later, as I will be out and about. I want to help you be able to "rent a car". We know what the next step is!

i could tell you all of this on any day
querida pati,
i am so blessed to know you. for reals. :-)
your (embarrassed) laugh (a cackle!)
your smile
your perseverance...as a student, sister, friend...
i admire the way that you move in the world with a realness, without pretense.
you mean it when you give a big {{hug}}
your desire to climb to the top, to believe in the goodness of people...
they are just slices of what makes you so...awesome.
i have loved knowing you more over this last year, and i'm hopeful for the ways we will continue getting to know one another...bike rides and climbs??
i leave with some words from marianne williamson:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?"
shine on, pati. and know that there will always be people wanting to be close to you even when ur feeling not so brilliant, not so bright, when you want to have a bit of shadow to yourself.
com carinho
e um grande abraço...hoje e sempre!

Dear Panaca!
Patêzinha de Fígado Acebolado,
Como eu sei que você não gosta dessa data, nem vou te dar parabéns nem nada..
hahaha
Só dizer que você é daquelas pessoas que a gente quer sempre ter por perto, tem uma luzinha própria e tudo mundo sabe disso! ;]
Faz muita falta por aqui, mas tudo bem..
e pra completar,
Te amo sua porcaria!
besos
You are my sunshine

my only sunshine,
you make me happy
when skies are grey
I´m sorry, but i still can not write in english...por enquanto!
Minha querida!
Você é uma amiga difícil de descrever, com um jeitinho único que só você tem, com suas tiradas brilhantes, com seu silêncio antes de responder qualquer pergunta (por mais boba que ela seja), com seu sorriso contagiante, com seus faniquitos, com os apelidos que sempre inventa, com o sumiço irritante, com os emails não respondidos, com os respondidos, com seu amor às pessoas, aos bichos e ao mundo em que vivemos, por ser uma foda de maio, uma belika, uma silly, a nossa patê de azeitona!
Obrigada pelo seu amor, amizade e lealdade. Adoro pensar na idéia de que vamos ser amigas até ficarmos velhinhas! Você faz muita falta aqui no Brasil, mas cada vez que falo com você e percebo o quanto está feliz aí em sanfra, me faz esquecer a saudade e desejar ainda mais a sua felicidade e realizações aí ou onde quer que seja!
Penso agora em batata frita queimando a língua,
em antártica gelada,
em torta de sorvete derretendo no sol,
em bala de côco....
em uma quarta-feira iluminada pra vc!
te amo florzinha!
aiiiiiii florzinha!
P.S- Que idéia genial desse blog, suas amigas são fodas mesmo!
Porcariazinha que eu amo tanto...
Ohhhh patê, my dear!
I’ll try to write in English, so, some mistakes will be here for sure, hehe!
As we said, fucking may arrived! Today I was listening to a song that said “everything is calm, let the kiss last, let time heal, let the soul have the same age of the age of the sky...”And I think life is almost like that, we should live and let life take care of us... And I can’t be sad all this month, because we have our dear “fuedas de mayo”! Not thinking just about birthdays, but about the memories of this celebration, always a good month to put everybody together!
I really miss you, coração! All the time... ‘cause when you are here, you and béu, I feel myself more complete, happier than ever! Because you bring the happiness when you arrive! You bring the love and the sweetness... We can put the belikas together and feel, for a moment, that everything is in the same place we left a time ago, so peaceful, so perfect! Sometimes, just to see our pictures, I feel in peace, cause you are one of the best memories I have!
I love my sillies! And I love you so much, azeitona querida!

My Dear, Dear Pati,
I have been going around and around in my head trying to figure out what exactly to say...how to say what I want to say. I thought about focusing on all of the wonderful things I love about you...Your fierce commitment to the people you love, your dedication to my family, your wit; your dry and earnest sense of humor...The way you choose your words carefully, your beauty. Though all of those things are true, I think I will go in a different direction with this post.
My dear Pati, I am sorry.
I am sorry that your life, this month in particular, is full of the most unexpected and insurmountable grief possible. I am sorry that this month is an even rawer reminder of the loss and longing you feel (I am sure) everyday of your life. I am sorry that it's your birthday, I am sorry that it's May.
I can relate, I cry every year harder on my birthday than any other day of the year..harder than the anniversary, harder than my father's birthday. I don't know why? I think it's because I am pissed, pissed that my May is in November, and that everything is jam packed into one fucked up and depressing month.Maybe it is because this is the one month out of the year that I am reminded how fragile life is. Maybe somewhere I feel guilty about celebrating my birth so close to mourning the loss of profound love.
I don't have answers...I am not going to tell you not to be sad, or not to avoid your birthday...I haven't learned how to do that yet. I will tell you that you are not alone. That I love you, everyone that wrote on this blog loves you.
Take the lead my dear, do what you want for your birthday. But remember that you are not alone. That you are loved and that you get to be pleased that you are alive. You get to be pleased simply based on the fact that you exist, what a wonderful thing. Please know that I will celebrate your birth tomorrow, even if it's in my head.
This is not a birthday blog...But let it be a reminder that you are loved and that the best part of being alive is that we get to continue to make memories, lets continue to make great memories.
besos,
Rachel

In Portuguese
Vamos inaugurar outra lingua neste blog. Pati, percebeu que a intenção disso aqui é babar ovo né. Então la vai.
Você além de uma grande irmã é uma grande amiga que fez parte de todo o meu processo de crescimento.
Hellooo, Honey Peeee
Well, liver onion paté, you know one more year has gone by, more wrinkles have appeared, more experiences have been lived, white hairs are probably about to pop out of that little head (if they haven't already), your body probably doesn't respond so quickly as it did when you were 18. We're aging dude... But. After 25 years of love, arguments, comfort, fun, parties, talks, driving around Brasília looking for things to do, riding our bikes in Parkmerced planing out tree house, just sitting at home talking about life. I'm so proud and so happy of having lived these moments with you, and I know many more will come.
I'm here, you're there but you know, we're always talking in our secret language. Full conversations that happen in our minds (and hearts, to get really cheesy about it). Silly moments.
I miss you. And I don't know what to say because you're my best friend and you know that.
Te amo. Do fundo do meu gélido heart.
to the super nova pato!
Dearest,
not even the internet can encapsulate the love i contain for you, no online streaming, multifaceted servers can save this google doc of love...
my life would not be the same without you. You are an angel sent to us.. and sometimes it makes it hard for you, but whats harder to think about is the thought of you not being around.
some people your meant to know for the rest of your life. you my beautiful friend are one of those... a person who sticks, not because she fell in glue, but because you are you.
i thinkthis has gotten kind of rhymey and a lot cheesy, but still all true.
i love you beyond this life time and universe.
never change....
i'm so happy you are around.
Amelia

from lil boo
pate you are super awesome. QUAD 4 LIFE. thank you for being such a great friend. i look forward to many more days and nights of our glamorous lives together!!!
Let's get started
Pati, our lunchdates make my workday manageable. Your love and compassion, your humor, and the ways we figure out how to feel lighter about life together makes life manageable. I love you so much. Thank you for all the ways you've supported me and built me up, even when I was hitting my lows.
