Kim Patterson Biography

My name is Kim, I am 32 years old with two children. My son, Hunter, is turning 12 next month and my daughter RyannKay will be 11 in six months. I have been with my childrens father for almost 14yrs now, we have not yet tied the knot and that is ok, its all the same to me. We are committed to each other and we intend and vowed to one another to be together til the end of our days. We currently have in addition to our family one pure bred German Sheperd, named Chloe, and she is now 6, borned Christmas eve 2004, we also have 3 indoor cats, well 2 are cats one is a kitten only 6 months old. I had lost my dear pet dog Aspen this past August, very difficult time for me, she was my everything, the first poem I submitted here was one I written in her honor. She was my shadow and just so dear, and very protective of me, and that was anywhere i would go. I knew she wasn't going to make it the night before she passed, I seen it in her eyes. I laid with her on the floor talking to her, expressing my infinite amount of gratitude towards her for being the perfect and best companion one could ever hope to have. My dog was my main rock for me throughout some dark times I recently had to face. She stayed glued by my side, never leaving me alone, no longer then 5-10mins. I stayed in my bedroom for a very long time, pretty much a whole winter season of last year, and she stand with me each and every day. I talked to her and those who truly can connect with their choosen animal campanion understands and knows what I am sharing, and can agree that their loved animal communicates back. I just hugged her for a long time and gave her lots of kisses and let her know that its ok now and that she can go, and no longer suffer from her inevitable aging that did indeed bring on irreversable health issues onto her. It pained me to see her be so slowed down and just laying there, but at the same time I appreciated her constant company. She passed early the very next morning, I cried for two days straight, until on the second day after her passing a very small kitten was found by my daughter walking up our driveway to our back door. She brought her in and from the first time I laid eyes on the kitten, which we named smokey because she is all gray, (which also ironically, my fiance and I had always wanted an all gray cat) , my tears had seized but I do think of my beloved Aspen often and still can't hold back the tears completely yet. I truly believe Aspen in spirit sent Smokey to us, to me to heal my aching, suffering, pained heart. She did exactly that, out of the three cats we have, Smokey is the only one with any sort of personality and she is so very commical. Thank you for the gift Aspen... I have always played sports, I'm a natural athlete. I did have a career working as a child care counselor, which I loved, it was/is my calling. I can no longer work in such an atmosphere where you have troubled youth together, it has the tendency to become hostile. All staff working with the youth had to go through TCI training, crisis intervention, and we were trained on how to physically restrain the youth, as well as counselor them. To be honest, even though I had a natural knack for this job, it was very tough also at times. I miss it very much. I love to help others and I am highly motivated to make a difference. I am the-go-to person im my entire family as well as in my circle of friends. Whenever anyone has an issue, problem, drama, or even sadness, or just needs a listening ear, or good sound advice I am who they all turn to. I am the youngest out of four sisters, but they all turn to me in their time of need, which of course, makes me feel good about myself. I am very antilitical and I also possess an abundance of empathy, I can easliy put myself in others shoes, see their point of view so to speak, therefore it comes easy to me to assess any negative situation effectively. If you can't tell yet, I am extremely passionate about counseling, I sincerely believe that God put me on this earth at my time for this specifically. I am also a normal Christian, not to big on being a church goer per-sa but I do try to meditate on Our Lords word a few times a day. The bible is very important to me, its my way of life. I will tell you the one thing I am scared of and that is todays soceity, and the vast growing, and on some level prolematic technology. I say that due to the steady growing issues we are seeing that technology has created. For e.g., the internet, the date sites have ended marriages, broken hearts, and broken up homes. So today a family is the minority because it is now rare that a child has both mom and dad in one home. Also the Facebook, which tends to be an open forum for cyber bullying, and that has sadly taking the lives of young innocent children. Youth today have lower self-esteems or they bottle it and drive them to take it out on others or they do so on themselves. The cell phone, another way married couples end up in divorce, easy way to communicate to another, other then the one you vowed to be committed to. Which brings me to tell you, that this is the one real reason why I view marriage today as a joke! A couple in love make vows to each other to be with each other for better or worse. They do so in the house of the lord, which signifies Him as a witness as well as giving His approval, well if that is in fact how you believe, thats how I believe it to be. Then yet just years down the road they break those vows by one cheating on the other or because both decided to cheat, it just truly sickens me but mostly it makes me very sad and angry. Angry only because it may look to others as a mockery being portrayed on: 1) the church, the sinning couple got married in,2) their individual families, and/or their 3) career/jobs. Bottom-line I can tell you I, for sure, do not enjoy being taken advantage of, or to be thought, and/or believed to be anything other then serious and true. Even though the bible says I am living in sin, I don't feel I completely do. In connversations with God that I have had, I feel confident that He honors my beliefs and supports my decision because He is the all knowing. Therefore, He knows that my fiance and I have been 100% faithful to each other from day one. We are still so very passionately in love and will continue to honor, support, love, and care for one another While we also continue to fall more in love as we grow in our relationship. If anyone is ever going through any tribulations I would like to share some advice. Turn to and be one with Our Lord, He truly does carry you through your trying times just as long as you truly believe and have and keep the faith... I choose to speak/communicate to and with others very openly, and with complete honesty. Therefore I have 'us', (my family) , all of us on the same page and we talk about anything, everything, and answer all questions thrown our way the best to our knowledge, and with truth. I hope you enjoy my poetry as much as I do..)

To You My Perfect Son

Born into this world, arrived just in time, February third nineteen ninety nine.

On your day a new song was played, I dedicated it to you, 'Angel of Mine.'

Just like that interception you got that one game, over joyed I was with happiness.

Gracious character you have, and that is why I've deemed you an old Soul.

Cherish you and Our Memories, fell in love at first glance, and it's my heart you stole.
