My PaPa


My PaPa was quite the character. To me, he was always a larger than life character. A larger than life character with kind eyes, rough hands, and a big ol' cowboy hat. A larger than life character that laughed a little too loud, patted a little too hard, and squeezed a little too tight. A larger than life character who always told me how proud he was of me, never made me guess as to how much he loved me, and always acted like just seeing me, talking to me, or thinking about me had made his day. 

My PaPa was quite the character. To me, he was always a larger than life character. A larger than life character who fell asleep at the airport and missed his flight to my WEDDING. A larger than life character who could do amazing things with a single toothpick. A larger than life character who actually gave me a framed picture of HIM on a horse for MY birthday. A larger than life character who
 was probably the worst driver on the entire planet. 

My PaPa was quite the character. To me, he was a larger than life character who will be thought of fondly and missed dearly for the rest of my days...you see, because I loved my larger than life PaPa as only a granddaughter can. And I thank him for loving me, my husband, and my babies
 as only a larger than life PaPa can.
