First off one of the biggest & most influential men in my life: My Papaw James!
This man has been there for everything, he is my rock. I am through and through a papaw's girl & i'm raising my girls to be the same because well to be honest there is no man alive like my papaw!
I have so many memories and stories I could share but I don't think I have the time to write all that (atleast not right now that is lol) But here is one that is very important to me.
One of the biggest moments in my adult relationship with my papaw has to be...When I found out I was pregnant with Kendall of course I call my Mom first, then my Daddy because even though I knew they were going to be disappointed in me, it was going to be nothing like the way I was going to disappoint my papaw, I cried and begged my daddy to tell him for me. But it was something I had to do myself. So I called him and just came right out with it & His exact words were "Well we'll get you through it. Are you okay? Are you moving back home now? Do you need me to come get you? Do you need any money? We sure do miss you. I love you too sis!" and even with his questions of concern for me, I could still hear the heart break in his voice. As of today, I look back on the day I made that phone call and it seems silly. My papaw never fails to pick me up if i'm down. His hugs melt my heart & when I hear him tell me he loves me (which he doesn't say to everyone in the family) I go back to being 5 years old on papaw's knee cuddles up watching old western shows & wrestling.
My papaw showed me everything I wanted in a husband, Hard working, Loving & someone that cares for other as much or more than he cares for himself. & because my papaw set such high standards I've went through a lot of bad guys. Until I met Shane Lee!
He will forever be my best friend & there are no word that will ever describe the love I have for this man! James L. Hinkle, Hands down best Papaw around :)
