Who inspires/has inspred you?

Is there someone in your life that inspires you and keeps you going or has inspired you to push forward and do what you do?

My grandfather inspires me immensely. He's 81 years old and works more hours since he retired than most people 1/3rd his age. He's constantly starting new projects, including restoring vintage tractors. He's a volunteer handyman and helps a lot of the older people around him with repairs (even though most of them are actually younger than he is).

He just has this amazing work ethic and never let's things get him down. He was married to the same woman for 50 years (she passed away about 4 years ago) and stuck by her for her final years that were filled with nothing but doctor's visits and 24/7 bed-ridden home healthcare.
