I was completely frustrated and     .Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves1”Dad        .“Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we’re     .” Such is Dad----whatever problem he      ,he never gives up.

       , the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our county. It was a challenging time for everyone,      Dad remained optimistic. He    to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plate. Only then did I truly begin to   Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.

Dad is also a living example of real      .From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to      our family.
