You know how sometimes we feel that life is such a burden and that things just don't seem to be going the way you'll like it to be?
Take a look at these 2 videos below. Never once has it failed to move me and put me back to perspective and realise that life ain't all that bad afterall. I first chanced upon them on an episode of Oprah several years back and till today, everytime I watch it, my eyes never fail to flood up with tears! The great lengths a father will go just for his son. An amazing story of a father's love. You should look at their race track records! It's...it's *gasp* AMAZING! I certainly couldn't do that, much less the weight of someone else!
