Patch Adams teaches us an important lesson into what it means to serve and care for others. Extracted from___ The UPLIFT 2012 conference about Wellness and Humor.
I wrote Patch back in 1999 and he answered to my surprise. I feel so bad hearing how wonderful Patch, Jessica, and Mr. Pete was to her. When I wrote Patch I didn' t want to live but 20 years later I am still here thanks to him. My heart hurts for Jessica and we don't have to be Patch but if we care and love for others we can make a difference.
Man, how this man has no Nobel Peace Prize is insane. It's beautiful the amount of work he does. Hero is a phrase thrown around way too much, but this man is an absolute embodiment of the word.
Wow! And the Medal of Honor was given to Rush Limbaugh…and never to Dr. Patch Adams. Clearly our priorities are terribly scewed. Patch Adams is probably my main hero! The most selfless person I can think of. He is the personification of LOVE!
This is why even with all my troubles, illnesses, depression and sorrow, I use my gifts of comedy, laughter, juggling, magic, speaking, learning, singing,clowning and Pratt falls to make others laugh so they will be happy, joyful, peaceful, content, lifeful, and maybe for a little while if not forever, they will forget their troubles and thank God to be alive, and just maybe they will be "exceedingly happy": then I'll know my life was worth living!!!

Sir Patch Adams, when I was four, I got up on our trash can and then up on the 4-5 foot cinder block wall that was at the end of our yard. I tight roped along the top of that wall for just a few steps & fell!! We had a concrete patio and I knew in an instant I was going to get hurt!!! NOT!!! There was no impact!!! There was only a slowing down in mid air and being lightly placed on that cement patio!!!😳 I'll never forget the sensation of slowing down in mid air!! I insist & firmly know that an Angel caught me that day!!! A little more than 3 years ago, while driving, I turned to check the drivers side rear view when a White Dove flew past my car for about 100 yards & made a sharp right hand turn and flew back down the passengers side!!! I never saw the dove in my rear view mirror!!!! My son and I turned and looked at one another & simultaneously said, WoW did you see that!?!? Here's the thing, I was doing 70 mph & dives can only fly 40 mph!!! Now tell me you don't believe in Angels or another dimension!?!?☮️❤️
It's just so hard to put into words is how this makes me feel , all the human emotions at once what an incredible letter from an incredible little girl Jessica , thank you Mr. Pete and Dr. Adams for making me to want to be a better human , and yes we have Angels watching over us my first one is my brothers daughter lena who pasted at 3 months old since then many more Angels have joined her thanks everyone so take time and be happy and funny
The movie lead me to search for Patch Adams, don't know if it's all true or not though. This letter made me cry, there really are people who commit selfless acts. My heroes!
This is the REAL PATCH ADAMS met him.in Peru. I met him and thanked him after seeing the movie He said HE DIDN'T MAKE A PENNY on it.. He doesn't care about money He cares for the patients
This is awesome !! Where is the ending ?? Where is part 2 ? Was this cut short ? What job did the janitor get ?? Was it that sculpture hidden in the background ? Sorry lots of questions but this is a cliffhanger video !! Please 🙏🏽 update..p..thanks
And still the USA has no health care for everyone. If Europe can do you can do it as well. I really love the US but some stuff I really can't understand..
You are a “victim “ of circumstances to be born there ...... nothing to be proud about just thankful is enough ....patriotism is just a wrong pride used to blind people , especially in a place that was stolen from others ....as the US is ..... public health care in your country is a shame and disgraceful ....I hope all of you wake up and stop the nonsense that is ongoing since 100 years .... blinded by the elite and the majority in the US still doesn’t get it ...
Its the fact that corporations are what own the majority of these decision. The problem is that when a corporation is an entity that makes decision, people as groups, make decisions that are heartless. No less different than when Nazis made decisions and order with soldiers willing to follow them because they just "followed orders". It's a terrible sign of humanity's lack of empathy in society. Living in the US, having been born here, watching this country become what it has become and what it is, it's finally about as much as I need to finally get the hell out of here. I'd gladly go to Europe or Canada and do my best to be a great citizen there.
The overall feeling of selflessness I get from this is awesome; I wonder still the authenticity of this letter. Regardless, I still wish this sentiment would spread to others like wildfire.
How beautifully written

Man, how this man has no Nobel Peace Prize is insane. It's beautiful the amount of work he does. Hero is a phrase thrown around way too much, but this man is an absolute embodiment of the word.
Be assured that he will be rewarded. ❤ The greatest most Ultimate Reward. No need for reward from mere humans.
This is what I am searching for. This is what being here means.
Everyone needs a Mr. Pete and everyone can take the time to be like Mr. Pete.
Now Mr. Pete has a sit ready in heaven and a guardian angel for sure. We all should aspire to be a Mr. Pete
The world needs more videos like this and the beautiful stories of what really matters most!!!
RIP Little Ms. Meeker....you're a giant among us.
"be happy for me.."
What a swell handsome soul young lady. Her strenght will be a beacon of compasions in this jaded world.

Patch Adams is very real
Robin took certain liberties with it all but, Patch forgave him .
only 12K views and 219 likes. This man deserves million. I can't believe he exists.
God Bless and may you continue to have a long and wonderful life.. ;-)
This is the REAL PATCH ADAMS met him.in Peru. I met him and thanked him after seeing the movie

Como ter coraçã e não se emocionar...? Como não ter coração, para não se emocionar???
And still the USA has no health care for everyone. If Europe can do you can do it as well. I really love the US but some stuff I really can't understand..
