Just a few days ago I was reading my good friend Ryan Lee’s blog and I came across this amazing video.
I watched this for about 10 times or so! Each time I could not stop my tears.
The story goes like this…
The son asks his father, ‘Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?’.
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says ‘Yes’.
There after the son asks his father if he can accompany him to the “Ironman”.
………Father says yes.
(I was not aware of what Ironman is all about till I read Ryan explain it on his blog)
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.
Finally, both Father and son complete the Ironman.
Here is the video..Post your comments and do express your emotions here.. I am sure there will be a lot.

Hi Srini,
This is an amazing demonstration of love, care, respect and perseverance.

A very thoughtful video.

Words are not enough to express this Expression of Love & Strength.
Truly encouraging and inspiring act of being Human.
I bow.
What a son? A must see for all. If he can do it we all can do it…
This is a great video you have Srini. Rick and Dick Hoyt are the perfect example of what can be done to break the illusional barriers. It has a very strong meaning on many multiple areas of life physical, and mental. It’s great to see and know their success was captured on video. Life goes on.
