Title: There are no words to describe what you're about to see.
Post by: Marcellarius on April 21, 2013, 05:08:13 am
had to share this amazing video because it warms my heart, my wife found it on Facebook with with the following text:


A Son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?"
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says "Yes".
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons.
The father always saying "Yes" to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked... his fater, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together."

To which, his father said "Yes".

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim,
followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.

Father and son went on to complete the race together!

When I have finished crying I want to watch it again it is so inspiring, plus I may see bits I didn't see the first time because my tears kept getting in the way.

That video even touched an old hard case like me.  All those on their pity pot should stand up and salute.
