Talking A Father's Love-Wonderful!

This is such a wonderful story of a fathers love for his son. A friend from another board posted this, so I wanted to share because I was so touched. Get a kleenex! YouTube - My Redeemer Lives - Dick & Rick Hoyt

I can't believe this has had 11 views and not one person commented on such a touching story.

I am crying still, that is just amazing. You can do anything if you have a strong family and love behind you. Very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.

OMG! You know how to get a girl crying in the morning. That song in itself makes me cry everytime I hear it anyhow. Not to sound all christiany (sp?) but there are a few songs that when you open your heart and sing them, I can feel the Holy Spirit fill me, and I am recharged for anything. Sounds cheesy but yeah. We need more people like these guys.

Its inspirational. Having a comatose nephew, I know the day to day struggle the family endures. Dick is a good man and incredible father. Its wonderful to see he did not have him institutionalized, and that he shares in the families normal life. We are trying to do the same for our family member.

I totally agree, there are some songs that always give me goosebumps and no matter how bad of a mood I am in they always lift my spirits and make me realize how lucky I am. I sent this to my dad with a little note telling him I love him.
