Perseverance as a family value
Perseverance is what a family says to itself on the hard days: we fall and we get back up. Families who pick it have often been through something, an illness, a move, a lost job, and want to name what got them through. Heraldry offers the mountain and the anchor, both symbols of holding steady.
