The next time we think something is too hard . . . remember, hard is in the eye of the beholder.
Amazing ...... (might want a kleenex next to you).
A father's love and support.
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 father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too.
For those who didn'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.
NOW VIEW THIS LINK, HOW THEY DID IT !!

This is a story that can touch you on many levels. I am not a very religious person, but the story of the father and son absolutely did me in. I cried and cried. What a wonderful story.

Very remniscent of the current Olympics commercial where the father finishes the race with his son who pulls the hamstring or gets a cramp. I cry every single time I see that.
