She was the most godly and compassionate person I knew. She was in the hospital when I took her my first saddle bronc riding check I won in my first PRCA rodeo. I thought it would make her happy because she was at the high school rodeo when I covered my first bull, and I could hear her over the entire crowd cheering me on. I thought it would bring her joy that her son finally became a man, but I could read disappointment on her face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rodeo check didn't even put a smile on her face, so I asked her, \"Mom, what would make you happy?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe knew I gave my heart to Jesus at a young age.
