We were driving down the street, and we saw a guy stuck on the side of the road with his kids in the car. My dad got out of the car, told my step-mom to keep going, and said he would call whenever he was finished. He didn't call back until like 2 hours, and when we went and got him, he was covered in dirt and mud, and said they got the car out.
This added to my conception of my dad as to how once he sets his mind to something, no matter how long it will take or how much energy it will cost him.... he will get the job done.
