Papa...One of a kind!

My Papa {Grandfather} passed away this morning and I just wanted to say that he was such an amazing person. To give you an idea of the kind of person he was, he is the guy who was passing out business cards out to everyone at my wedding reception. He was the most outgoing, talkative, social person I have ever known! {even more than Regan if you can imagine that!}
I admire him so much and am so sad about his passing. I remember one time when I was 12 years old, I was in California visiting him and was riding horses with him. The horse got spooked, and bucked me off. My Papa was the first one there to help me get up and I will never forget what he told me. He said, you need to get back on the horse so that you won't be scared of him. So I did, and ever since then, have always loved riding horses. That taught me to never give up on something! Always try again and never give up!
I'm thankful for him in my life!
