A Father's Love

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' too.

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 kilometer) 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. View this race .....



Through my tears, I can't help but think of God's love for His children...
