A Father's Love

Jun 23, 2008 17:22

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 together.

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 raceencompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3..86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, 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.



I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

~ Mother Teresa
