He embodies the purest qualities of a Christian man, always acting out of love, peace, patience, kindness, and understanding. However, he doesn’t exactly mirror Christ when it comes to his brutal honesty and closed minded opinions. He will not hesitate to look you straight in the eye and say “you look like a hooker” or that “you are being a total asshole.” Though others would label these traits as “flaws”, or might even be offended by his unfiltered moments, I truly adore the perfect imperfections of my grandfather. I know that he says these things out of love and if he doesn’t mention it to someone he probably doesn’t care for them. He does not want you to humiliate yourself and he will never lie to you. His stubbornness was given to me as a hand-me-down that fits him much better. He will sit quietly, watching a situation unfold from across the room and then form an opinion. Once he has made his decision, you will never change his mind. I look at this as loyalty, probably because I has the same “stubborn” and “opinionated” attitude myself. You would never be able to tell that he didn’t go to college, he is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. He has been a artillery design specialist in the army, an engineer for carbon black plants, a cowboy, and a pastor. Papa is a bit of an over exaggerator, I think he embellishes his stories for entertainment purposes. Nevertheless, I still love sitting on the porch listening to him tell his stories about his many girlfriends, aliens in the trees, Grandma, and the Korean
