Not taking anything away from the father in this video, because what he's done for his son is nothing short of amazing, but I think most of us, just like Dick Hoyt, would do *anything* for our kids.
Most of us, however, are also lucky enough to have children without any physical or mental disabilites, so we haven't been situations where we would be making such incredible sacrifices as Dick Hoyt is. Something for which he obviously deserves all the accolades he's getting.

But the lesson I take away from this is to never take your children or their good health for granted. *Make sure* they know they are loved by you, every day. Dick Hoyt's son knows this, without a doubt, and that's worth more than any marathon.
