Work work wrok
I undisputedly and undeniably have learned my work ethic from my dad.
My entire life he has worked 6 days a week. 6 FULL and tiring days.
But I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed anyone work harder than my dad did
when he was trying to build the cabin up north. I remember that he
would get up around 4 or so in the morning, work until 2 p.m. in the Valley and then head up north for his “2nd
shift.” There were many nights that we would walk into the house
exhausted late at night because he had worked in one day the equivalent
to what some do in a week. He never complained. He never said a word.
He just did it so we would have a nice place to go to escape. I will
forever be grateful for the cabin because it has always been a visible
example of his dedication and hard work, but, more importantly, I will
always be grateful for the quiet example that he set while building it.
That, to me, is even more valuable than the structure itself.
