This was one of my dad’s favourite words.
He probably used this word every day my whole life.
He hated the idea of giving up and quitting so much so I feel that is part of the reason he has survived so much in the last decade.
I thought it was a “dad-ism”- a word my dad made up -as he had so many.
I now realize it is in the Webster dictionary
dogged perserverance, tenacity
This is a word and a characteristic I think about every day. It motivates me always.
Thanks Dad.
I love all the ways I am like you and lets face it – not fond of a few of them too…
What is your favourite lesson from your dad?
