From his mother walking up a flight of steps to see him in a play, to his father getting her out of bed each day: How love defined a relationship with illness.

Patrick told this story during the Des Moines Storytellers Project's “Love” on Feb. 14, 2023 at Hoyt Sherman Place. 

The Des Moines Storytellers Project believes everyone has a story and everyone can tell it. 

Des Moines Storytellers Project events are filled with neighbors and notables who have a true, first-person story they’re willing to share in 8-10 minutes in front of a live audience.
