Kennedy's mom Alissa waited a very long time for a visit after Patches went missing. Patch took over the duty of patching up broken hearts, and arrived in time to share some special dates with Alissa.

The most votes were for the dark brown bear and so here he is! Not many names were suggested so I decided he will be called Patches Jr. or Patch for short. :)<br />

Patch left home on October 15, 2012. Three years since Patches left. Wishing him a happy and safe trip! And please don't go AWOL!<br />

<br />
Well, I don't think there will ever be another Patches... but we can replace him with another mascot to "patch up" broken hearts.<br />
<br />
That said, I will send the replacement out to the next person on the list on October 15, 2012, three years to the day that Patches left on his trip. Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.<br />
<br />
But first! We must decide who will replace Patches... and what their name will be! Here are a couple of pictures. Take a look and then vote for your choice in the comments. The one with the most comments by October 12 will be the one to go. Also in the comments, please offer any names you can suggest!<br />

I have been trying to decide on a way to set it up again and have decided that the easiest way to do this (and not worry about a repeat incident) is to just get you to email me your information and I will put it up in the <a href="http://patchesthebear.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-patches-bear-sign-up-for.html">original post</a> in the order that I receive them.<br /><br />Please <span style="font-weight: bold;">email</span> me your FIRST NAME and your BLOG address. My email address can be found under my profile photo in the sidebar. Do not use comments to sign up.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The same rules will apply.</span><br /><br />Please note that you MUST be willing to send Patches on his way in approximately one week. Remember, there are other families who want a visit from him. This has been a problem in the past and I want to address this again. Review the rules on the original post.<br /><br />Again, I apologize to all of you who had signed up for him previously and lost your spot. I feel absolutely terrible about this.ter@waaomshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16281816721565523092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899074840185076621.post-42689279664165838812011-02-26T07:24:00.000-08:002011-02-26T07:33:22.253-08:00Important Patches Update - please readHello Everyone...<br /><br />Just a quick post to update everyone:<br /><br />Patches went missing for a little while but he has finally made it to his latest designation, whew!<br /><br />Unfortunately, a new problem has come up....<br /><br />Today, I noticed that the linky for signing up for a visit from Patches has disappeared. This has happened a couple times before when the code somehow change or the Linky site was down. However, today I went to check it on the site and found out my account has been deleted. The reason being that it is no longer a FREE linky site. I tried to send a message to ask if I can get access to the information but much to my frustration the contact form did not work either.<br /><br />I now have to try and figure out how to set up a new link-up or other method for signing up for a visit from Patches. Sadly though, that probably means that some of you who expected to get him sooner will have to wait longer, since I have no way of recalling the order people were on that list. I am not sure if everyone who signed up even follows this blog.<br /><br />I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I really want everyone to have a chance to visit Patches!<br /><br />If anyone has any suggestions for how to set up a new sign up, please email me or comment on this post.ter@waaomshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16281816721565523092noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899074840185076621.post-79157435283506098552010-12-29T14:09:00.000-08:002010-12-29T14:15:37.223-08:00Patches Visits TaraPatches took a trip to see Tara.
