Yes, it's a beautiful life. I was reminded last night as I watched an amazing video of Dick and Rich Hoyt. What touched me, I think, is the deep respect and love this father has for his son. The commitment this man has to offer an amazing experience for his son. Really, I'm not sure what I feel. What I do know is that I haven't cried like that for a long time. I've watched the video now 6 times and I cry more deeply each time.
Maybe it's the fact that I know that I fall short as a father. I say I do my best. "I work so my kids can have more than I had" type stuff. Maybe it's the compassion. Or, maybe it's just the pure sweetness of one human being showing kindness to another. I'm not sure.
What I am sure about is that watching the video has touched me on a deep level. It has reminded me that I CAN be better than I currently am. It sets the bar for me as a man. As a father. As a fellow human being. It makes me want to be.........better.
For that, I am grateful.
Have a look. See what comes up for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRHxHapwirw
