Living on the banks of the Withlacoochee River in Crackertown, Florida was a great place to live.

I was either in the river or on the river as much as possible with my friends. That was our playground. I attended elementary school in Yankeetown. Then high school in Crystal River. Good old Crystal River high school. I will never forget you.

After graduation I married my boyfriend and moved to Atlanta.

He was a student at Georgia Tech. We had 3 children and later divorced. My youngest child was Down Syndrome. He passed away this year after I wrote this book. It left a big hole in my heart. I wrote this little book so he would never be forgotten.

My life and background

I've been single for 38 years. I've been too busy to remarry. I went to Nursing School and did mostly hospice work. People in the area know me as Little Bit. They don't know my first name. I think some of them do now.

Enjoy the story

I hope you enjoy reading about Patrick's antics.
