One day a son asked his father: "Daddy, run a marathon with me?"
The father answers: "yes" and they run their first marathon together.
Another day the boy asks his father again: "Dad, you run a marathon with me?" And the father responds again, "yes, my son."
One day the son asks his father: "Dad, do you want to do the Iron man with me?" (4 km swimming, 180 km cycling, 42 km running)
And the father responds again, "Yes" ......
And here comes the video for this story:
If this video doesn't bring tears to your eyes...it made me cry

To me, it looked like the boy was as much the father's redeemer than the father was to the son. It's quite a commitment and achievement from the father's part, however, and that's in big part what is inspirational about it. |

Impressive Dad. Another video stated they did over 900 races so far and Rick (the son) managed to not just graduate from HS but from college aswell. Ronald Reagan wrote them to say how awesome he thinks they are. www.teamhoyt.com |

Respecting someone doesn't make me cry. Dramatic moments in TV and movies set me right off.

Respecting someone doesn't make me cry. Dramatic moments in TV and movies set me right off. Funny, those never make me cry. ;D Don't worry, I'm REALLY not made of stone and I do cry quite a lot (for sure every week), but I almost always cry over people, including myself. |
