I'm totally crying right now. I saw them on Real Life Sports on HBO. Everytime I see it, it brings so much inspiration to my life. What heros both father and son are. There is so much good in the world. Thanks for the joyful tears today.
LOVE this song! I saw the father/son team on this video on Oprah. The father "ran" the marathon for his son so he could experience it. This song has been a favorite ever since it came out. It was played last year at my aunts funeral and now I just can't help but cry every time I hear it. Yup, that's me next to you at the stop light crying and trying to sing in my car! Will have to pass this on
Thank you, thank you, thank you for passing that on. It's one of my favorite songs and now I'll never listen to it the same again. What a wonderful, wonderful father...he gives us all inspiration.
You know I never understood when I was younger why people would say they were thankful for their health, but as you get older you do understand. This video helps us COMPLETELY understand.
I stopped after I watched this and said a prayer thanking God that our family is healthy. Thank you for sharing this.
What an amazing Father and son. I am awestruck by how much joy and love there is so obviously between them. When someone in our lives has a disablity, that does not mean that they cannot enjoy life to the fullest with our help. Thanks for sharing this JOY!
Wow...words cannot begin to describe how I feel right now. This is the most touching thing I have seen in a very long time. I am so happy that you linked this on your site. I will be sharing it with others as well.
thank you so much for sharing - i was here having a pity party because one of our A/C units went out and I was unsure how we would come up with the $ to fix it with school supplies and school clothes and new glasses etc and after seeing this i know that it will all be ok and i am SO BLESSED -- thank you for helping me to see it today
Very touching indeed. Thanks for sharing. I had not had the opportunity to see such an inspirational story behind this video...I love the song, but it now has an entirely new meaning! Thanks!
That was the most amazing beautiful moment I have ever seen. I havent seen the Operah show the others are talking about, and for a first time, all I can say I havent cried this much in a while. Just near the end my son came and sat on my knee and said "luv you", that put life and everything in its correct order. THANK YOU !!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. Wow is really all that I can say. I saw them on Oprah and thought they were amazing, but it is so much more to actually watch it. What tremendous love that father has for his child. It would be truly awesome if every parent felt that way for their children.
Thanks again!
Wow! I am also so glad you shared this link today. I have now passed along to those in my address book. Such love and devotion...brings me to tears just thinking about it.
Ali, thank you so much for sharing this with us!! It has truly touched me more than you'll ever know! And the song "I can only imagine" gets me every time I hear it -- it was my dad's FAVORITE song just months before he passed away completely unexpectedly. I love that song! =)
