Addison Rae Instagram – I feel as though I have no words.. but that just isn’t true. Actually, I have so many that it’s hard to make sense of them. You were always a hard worker.. even when physically working was hard. You were diligent, you were thoughtful, loving, quiet, courageous, strong, patient and kind. These are only a few of the words that describe you. Sometimes I have people in my life who say so much and nothing at the same time. My papa was a man who said very little, but all of his words had meaning. He taught me that when you break something you fix it even better than it was before. He taught me that being a listener is just as important as being a talker. I like to pretend nothing can hurt me anymore. This hurts. This is a pain that will never go away. One time my papa told me that because of me, he would never give up. So now and forever, because of him, I will never give up either. I can do anything. And I will do it with him in my heart. My favorite holiday growing up was the 4th of July, because that’s my Papas birthday. I love you Papa. I love you more than you loved old cars, music, western shows, wheel of fortune, coconut cream pie, the Frio River and beer. This year, I’ll be missing you on my birthday. I wish I could have one more hug from you. God is so lucky to have you. I will miss you more and more every single day. “May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.” -Julie Hebert
