Let's Bring Down The Lights For A Moment
Those that know me the best know that I have a sappy side. It can take a little work to get there but, yeah, that side of me exists.
And tonight I got reminded of that. Someone sends me by email of an article written by Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly and a link to a youtube video to view after I read it. No way I'm wasting my time on that, I thought. Anyway, the skeptical side of me figured it was a hoax anyway so I went to snopes.com to verify my suspicions.
It wasn't a hoax.
You can read the article here (where I went to verify the story.) Although there is a youtube.com link located there, the video my buddy sent me is here. Yeah, it will take you a couple of minutes to read and a couple of minutes to view, but you sappy ones out there will thank me.

FYI, Dick Hoyt is doing it again at Kona on Saturday.
Lots of people are putting this on their blogs. I'll be that guy would be the world's fastest triathlete if he did them without his son. I guess the point is that he'll never do them alone.
With all that is going on in this world, it was refreshing to watch something so inspirational. Thanks, Barry.
Yeah, its no hoax--I've seen it two separate times as the subject of news stories on tv. Simply amazing!!
What a beautiful story.
Thanks for sharing. :)
The Hoyt's prove the point that the QUALITY of a person's life is what that person does WITH the circumstances of their life.
Congratulations to the Hoyt's for making Lemon Meringue Pie when given lemons and NOT moaning about NOT having been given apples for apple pie.
Barry, thanks for the reminder.
Thank you for feeling sappy Barry. I needed that...wow.
do we get to eat pie or not?
Saw it at church. good story.
Wow, so moving. Thanks, Barry.
They've been on Oprah and other shows before...truly inspirational human beings. Gives a new meaning to being a "hands-on" father. Beautiful video.
