I found this story and video. You will just have to watch and read for yourself. Inspirational and inseparable father and son duo.

That was an unbelievable story.
The father, Dick Hoyt's desire to have his son feel like he's not disabled was the most inspirational thing I ever saw! Such a powerful video that brought more than one tear to my eye.
Thanks Sabertooth

Great find, Sabertooth!
The story and video really put things in perspective. It makes you realize that your mountainous problems aren't so big and that rather than saying you "can't" do something you should try harder instead.

Could not agree more with the comments guys. One thing I like to realize more then anything is that he lifts and gets his body in shape for his son. Most people do it for themselves to look good. He does it all just to make his son feel "normal". I can not imagine the feeling of giving a gift like that to someone.
