If you haven’t seen this video yet, you need to. It shows a father’s love for his son beautifully. I cry everytime I think of it. It also reminds me of my Heavenly Father’s love for me and what He does for me everyday. He carries me, pushes me, pulls me- whatever it takes! Have a couple of tissue handy when you view this-

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 race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometers) 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. Here’s video footage of the duo - 4.36 minutes. 1,470,172 view(s) The son’s name is Brian Trainor, 36 years old from Maryland. I hope it touches you as it did me:
