What REALLY happened to Patrick Childress Sailing on SV Brick House!?!? (#66)

Wow guys..the video is going on a week now and I just can’t keep up with the comments, at all. I apologize, and I will read and respond SOMEDAY. Life, taking care of the boat, myself, this channel...has become so overwhelming that I have to drop doing something, for now. I am going to try to answer these comments for 30 minutes per day, but then I just can’t do any more and get everything in life done. Please keep commenting, and I will get to them one of these days. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! ALSO if you are trying to contact me to crew.....this is really what I need: 1. Offshore sailing experience 2. You can share half the expenses, which I estimate to be $1000-$1500 per month. 3. 6 month to 1 year commitment, more better, if we get along well 4. Mature and peaceful Not sure on destinations yet...Atlantic probably....contact me at www.whereisbrickhouse.com/

I'm a night nurse for 25+ years and I can tell you WITHOUT A DOUBT that Patrick heard every word you said and gave you a sign of recognition with the glance of his eyes. I will even say he held on and WAITED for you to come to the hospital. He would not leave without you there. God Bless you and Patrick.

To click the like button seemed so wrong for this video, where the heck is the HUGS button!!!!

He looked at you. ' retired surgical charge here. I am so happy they allowed you to be with him at the final time. That is a big blessing that most do not get

My wife's name was Ieta. She left here in 2007.Every night, when it is time to sleep for the night, I have a feeling of surprise that she is not here, and activly glance around to find her.. It;s not a sad or lonely feeling - just a surprise that she is not here. Were married the day before Christmas in 1953 and she looked out for me as long as she could. She fell in the bathroom and breast cancer broke out in her body. i feel that she whipped the cancer but that their "cure" attempts finally took her away l'll just hang around here....If I wasn't already almost 86 and covid wasn't around the corner, I would like to tarvel along - but I guess I will just hang around here as long as I can( as she comes by to see me quite often in my dreams.

Stumbled on this video by accident... and it hit me luke a hammer. When i lived my sailing dream I met my to-be wife in St Maarten.. her dream was a house on Crete, at the beach. I gave away my boat, and moved with her to Crete, and together we build the house and studios to rent. That was 13 years ago, and we have lived her dream, until she died suddenly 5 months ago. All familiar, holding her in my arms while she slowly slipped away. Now, 5 months later, I still don't know what to do. I continue the life we shared, trying to cope with covid, trying to cope... Anyway, all I can say is: don't rush it. For me, trying to continue the life we had before is a means to find out whether i can enjoy this life without my wife, or not. I still don't know, but i sure am happy that I did not make any radical changes yet.

My friend, I am a hospice nurse. He knew You were there, he heard everything you said, an that was his way of saying goodbye. I hope and wish the peace that passes all understanding this time of grief. But, and I assure you, he was communicating his last farewell to you. He will always be with you in your heart. Cherish the memories of your time together, Regards, A stranger that cares

Long medical background, he fought to tell you for the last time that you are the center of his world. He was fighting death to tell you he loved you. My heart is broken as I watched this video. I pray you are united with Patrick in our Fathers time. God bless and keep you dear sister.

AWWW MY DEAR .... YOU SOUND LIKE MY WIFE AND I. AFTER WATCHING SEVERAL CLOSE FRIENDS PASS AWAY I HAVE LEARNED ONE THING."DO NOT MAKE ANY MAJOR LIFE DECISIONS FOR THE FIRST YEAR" THAT IS FIRST. SECOND KEEP THE EMOTION AND MAKE YOUR OWN VIDS. FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. HIS VIDEO WITH JUST YOU IS A GREAT BRIDGE ACROSS TO YOUR NEW LIFE ABOUT YOU. YOUR A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT AND IT COMES OUT WITH YOUR HONESTY. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A "WE" AND GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO HEAL. NO MAJOR DECISIONS FOR A YEAR. YOUR A STRONG WOMAN LOOK UP YOUR GOING TO BE BLESSED. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO. OUR LOVE GOES OUT TO YOU.... AMEN

Dr. Here. Him looking at you and a tear coming out was voluntary response. In essence, he wanted to communicate and it seems he did.

One last look at the love he adored . His soul will be with you .as your sole was his life . A look back can give you a smile . He passed being loved to which is a priceless adventure . I’m sure with the community your Adventures take you with ‘ Will set you a Fair wind . God bless

From my family, to you, we send our. most sincere condolences. Grief is a brutal price we pay for loving someone deeply. Until you find your way, endure.

Oh my, Rebecca, I am so sorry for your loss. The loss of your partner, your captain, your friend... My tears and prayers are with you. Renee & the Z-Crew

Yes darling dear he was looking at you. I used to be a nurse and have seen a lot of souls leave this world. This is a legitimate experience. My heart goes out to you 💔. God bless you and be well and cry as much as you need.

hi Rebecca, very sad to hear that Patrick passed away. You both were a great inspiration for all sailors all over the world, your experiences translated in your movies mean a lot to all of us. I wish you all the strength to continue your passion of sailing with Patrick as your guardian angel. All the best ! Jean

Rebecca, i've been watching many sailing youtubers, first time i had tears from a real life story. Your partner was exceptional in many ways, but, the good news is, you too. Leave the boat for a few weeks, go and see the world and friends ( meet my family, you have a place to stay in Belgium ) and soon you'll be wanting to go back on the boat, because its the only right place for you to start new adventures. Shouldnt be a problem to find someone joining you for any story. Good luck, you can make it again. Cheers.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

The counselling I got was, "don't let one tragedy turn into two." Follow your heart.

Catching up on my sailing videos and just learned of your loss. Wow. Sending you my deepest condolences and thoughts from Guam. Fair winds and following seas forever!
