[tri-med] special parents

Hello Everyone,
 
Special kids have special parents and I thought of all of you when my daughter 
sent me this video.
 
The son has severe cerebral palsy and the drs told the parents to 
institutionalize him, but they accepted and loved him just the way he was. 
 
After many years, they realized that he had a perfect brain inside a totally 
broken body and he ultimately completed a College degree.
 
The dad does ironmen competitions at the age of 60+ with his son in tow and 
they also do inspirational speeches.
 
My 23 year old daughter sent the video to me and she said that she went through 
a whole box of tissues watching it. I think she was especially effected because 
she was denied the chance to love her sister in the way that this dad loves his 
son; completely and unselfishly.

I hope that you enjoy it. You are all tremendous heroes in your parenting of 
special children.
