We all wobbled and slipped under the weight of swollen pumpkins‚ and laughed as we carried them all the way back to the car. It was a noteworthy family outing and both girls had so much fun‚ it was

Patch Adams Patch Adams is very interesting to watch. From the beginning of the story‚ there is the willingness of the viewers to watch the movie till the end. It is simple but not on its meaning.

His way of professionalism
