"So you were saying you wanted to get to know me more?"

I went for a 5 km jog with my dad just now.
.
My stamina weakened a little cause I haven't really been jogging, and I had bad stitches during the run. I just didn't wanna stop. Not just yet. I was running pretty slow though.
.
What really warmed my heart was the fact that...
My dad who was running ahead of me slowed down and jogged on the spot and waited for me to catch up with him. He didn't leave me on my own :)
.
As we jogged, my dad accidentally stepped into a hole or something and kinda fell. I got a shock. I immediately asked him if he needed to rest. He gritted in pain a bit, limped... and continued running. Wow.
.
He jogged through the 5km. At the end of it he told me, "The pain was so sharp, I thought I was going to faint"
.
My dad's undying perserverance is always something I look up to.
I love my dad. What a role model he is. To not give up even if you've fallen.
.
How much more your heavenly Father?
