Trials and tribulations, struggles and perseverance my Dad has seen them all. Perseverance; steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. No matter what life has thrown at my Dad he has always been dependable and persevered. I have never known a more hardworking man. My Dad started working at a very young age which eventually lead to his having to drop out of school. Despite having very little education he went on to be a respectable, reliable labourer whom people came to when they had questions about any trade, my dad could do it all. My dad provided us with a home, a vehicle, food on our table and a beautiful mother to love us. My parents have been married for 31 years and he has been a dependable husband to my mother as well as a dependable father to myself and my sisters. My mother just recently became diagnosed with cancer for the second time. My dad is her best friend, her rock, her shoulder to cry on and her strength my dad is always there to depend on and loves without fail. My dad raised three daughters whom adore him, he was our wiper of tears, our protector someone whom we could always depend on to be silly and put a smile on our face. My dad is now a grandpa and there's no one my children can depend on more to be there and love them, Wether he's building swings, dancing or playing ring around the rosie. My dad the man of all trades, the strong, loving husband, the father of three daughters, the playful grandpa Mr. Dependable.
