::attribute: perseverance::

My dad is in it for the long haul. He knows how to push through adversity and continue living life. I can't tell you how many times life got hard for him, really hard, but that didn't stop his quest for happiness. He has faced almost any trial out there: bad health, family hardship, death, and financial issues. But he has gotten through them and learned. He is a great example in this for all who chose to grow and learn.
