Hello again

Ok, so normally I despise it when people forward videos and messages and nonsense to my email.  I received one today; however, that I absolutely feel changed by.  I thought I would share.

Here is what she forwarded, and then watch the video:

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 to gether. One day, the son asked his father, '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. View this:
