These two men were on Oprah yesterday, and the way they live their lives humbled me. The son was born disabled and doctors told his parents he would be best off in an institution. His parents refused. Today, he can communicate by tapping his head (nose, I think) against a computer, and it translates for him. A few years back he told his father he wanted to race in a marathon. His father obliged, and now they particiapte in 50 TRIATHALONS a year. I can barely run a mile! It's truly amazing and makes me appreciate the things I take for granted each and every day.
