Perseverance

today, I was my dad’s second set of hands while working on his semi tractor. My dad is a skilled mechanic and has always been able to figure out a way to fix almost anything. Often, he does not always have the right tool, so we have to combine brute force and leverage to get something moving and loose.

Now, both of us weigh under 200 lbs, so having a lot of extra weight to thow behind a wrench is not to our advantage, wo for dad it has always come down to brute hard work behind those tools that loosen and tighten everything.

But, what impressed me, is that despise the job being a difficult one, i never heard him utter strong language, or go into a tirade. He did not feel the needto, as it all but our choice in how we handle frustrations.

We will get the rest of the job done tomorrow and I will be out there being his second set of hands. He can always depend on me being there.
