Wonderful short program, Patrick! I’m so proud of you! Best of luck on the long program.
You look a bit different at the CBC interview after the short program. More mature, I guess. Did the Olympics end the innocent age of yours? No matter how you change, Patrick, you’ll always have a special place in my heart.
Much love,
Sarah
Good job Patrick!!!

Dear Patrick,
I’m so happy to learn that you intend to hang on to Phantom of the Opera for next season. I absolutely LOVE that long program. It’s my favorite piece of music too.
I’m prepared to be moved again by your long program at the World’s.
That was such a brilliant short program today. Your skating always captivates me
CANNOT WAIT TO SEE PHANTOM OF THE ICE! Go for the gold 
It was totally worth waking up early to watch the live broadcast! I only wish there was a larger Canadian crowd to cheer you on in Italy…
Does anybody have the link to the CBC interview? I wasn’t able to catch it.
Your biggest fan,
Kelsey

Congratulations on another silver medal, Patrick.
That is quite an accomplishment.
While I know that the LP wasn’t everything you wanted it to be, you skated beautifully. And did so many things…so well.
It’s all about the process…the experience…and I trust that it was a memorable and fulfilling one for you. I was with you, in Spirit, through each moment.
My best, always,
Kent
