I cried. Very moving and inspirational.

I didn't want to post this in the OTF for obvious reasons, although there's not really anything to debate about. I just wanted to share it.

That's pretty damned impressive...

Well, that is quite a nice story. Not very controversial. But is the father Batman..I mean....35 minutes to world record....with pushing a wheelchair.

Not controversial, I know. I mean I know it's hardly a debatable topic, I just thought it was really cool. The OTF would have swallowed it whole.

I have seen that on HBO Sports he's been on twice, it was awesome indeed.

I'd never heard of them until today, my boyf doesn't usually read his email unless they're to do with business but his dad sent that to him and he forwarded it to me

Where what belongs?

Nah, this fits in the GDF. It has a topic. It is just not a hardcore debate one.

Don't the OTF ones technically have a topic as well?

At first I thought this was going to be some crappy sentimental crap, but then I watched the video. It's still sentimental, but it's not crap. What that dad does is incredible.

awww, thats so cute.

You should see my ass...

the story was really moving and touching............that dude is luck he has a dad ................pity other dads dont makke an effort to be there..........i can count how many times i saw mine in my life....(im 27 years old now).........but as a teenager....i always wanted to be the person my dad was not.......that helped me to become the person i am now..........although life has a funny way of dealing you a messed up hand of cards........his family say im the spitting image of him, and we are so similar...similar habits, sense of humor etc....the same trhings i NEVER wanted to have.............but at least i am my own person.....with morals and other stuff like that

Not really..one is called Rick..and the other Dick...not that much confusion since they are called differently.

And talking about Floo's ass is on topic how?

Which is probably why they are called "Rick" and "Dick", which is totally not confusing.

What about if 'Rick' changed his name to 'Dick'?

Then it would be confusing.

Yes. Or if "Rick" changed his name to "Panda"....and "Dick" to "Bear"....and then "Rick" also to "Bear". I think we are on to something ...to the Floodock mobile! Nananananananana.

*sigh*

Leave it to you dingle-dorks to take this threads purpose and run it into the ground.

Let's leave the bullshit in the OTF, shall we?






Anybody who hasn't seen this video and read the article yet should check it out.




This story nearly made me cry.

I can't believe how much that family has been through, and rather than give up, or become hateful as many of us would, they push through.

They rise above the circumstances of this world to enjoy what they have been given, and make the most of it:

This life.



What would I do, were I born disabled? Or if I was like the father, and my son were disabled?


Would I give in to despair and bitterness? or would I make the most of what I have, and love every minute of life that I'm blessed with?



As the song says: "I can ony imagine"...

edit: Timed out.


Here's a fresh link to the story and video:

Really well said, thanks for that.

Edit; Just watched it again, it really is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
