    Hi guys. Will probably get flamed with "-----" remarks since that seems like the cool thing to do @ GR but oh well. Found this on another forum, and has to be one of the nicer videos I've seen in a while.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjPrL3n63yg

    If you want to read more about this remarkable father and son, visit their site at www.teamhoyt.com

    Summary for the lazy: The son is born paralyzed but wants to partake in physically daunting triathlons with his aging father. The dad is able to compete with his son by pushing his wheelchair and towing his raft, etc. which results in a very touching example of a father's unconditional love for his son. Video is a montage of clips from different events they've participated in.
    This is what a dad should be like. The power of true love is amazing. It's hard enough to complete a triathalon without a "burden" like this. But love drives him ever onwards to do this for his son. And he has done this for 25 years.

    The father was far from being athletic at first... yet worked hard for his son, even in his old age. He runs a world-class marathon time while pushing his son. Simply amazing. I have a feeling the father will outlive the son, which isn't bad at all. He will always be there for his son.

    Yeah, it's good that even though he's in a wheelchair he's still managing to do stuff with the help of his dad.

    I don't see why you would get flamed for this.

    Thanks for sharing the video.

    I'm not usually a cryer...and I tried not to but that seriously brought tears to my eyes. That's an inspiring father-son relationship.
