Rick and Dick Hoyt

As I watched this, my eyes got hot with tears.  There is so much I could say-but no words that would do this story justice.

This is simply a spectacular glimpse into the lives of Dick and Rick Hoyt.  When Rick was born his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, restricting oxygen.  His father, Dick said that they brought him home to live as normal of a life as possible.  The fight since then has been a "battle of exclusion." Though he cannot speak or walk, Rick has graduated from high school, competes in marathons and triatholons with his dad, and can use a computer designed for him specifically by Tufts Univervsity. Read the story here.  Enjoy the video.  Team Hoyt is simply amazing!  (Mem, thank you for the link!)
