A Family Quote from My Dad

My favorite family quote is, "Don't quit"

My dad was one that would put you back to work until you learned you could do something. He always said life is going to throw you all kinds of challenges and you just can't give up.

His first three children were all girls so he was determined for us to be able to do things for ourselves. Mom would take off and go in the opposite direction if he tried to talk to her about taking care of financial things in case something happened to him.

He made darn sure his girls all knew what to do if something happened. He always told us there would not always be a man around to take care of you so you have to learn.

He was right just like always. And to this day, I am still trying. Don't quit.
