AMAZING STORY

GUYS YOU HAVE TO READ AND SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO CLIP!! THE LOVE OF
A FATHER!!! PLEASE READ THEN WATCH!! IT REALLY MAKES YOU HOLD YOU
CHILD CLOSER TO YOU!*



A son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with
me?" The father who despite having a heart condition, said, "Yes".
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went
on to join other marathons, the father always saying, "Yes" to his
son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son
asked his father, 'Dad, let us join the Ironman together; to which his
father said, "Yes", too. For those who don't know, Ironman is the
toughest triathlon ever. The race consists of three endurance events
of a 2.4 miles (3.86 kilometers) ocean swim followed by a 112 miles
(180.2 kilometers) bike ride and ending with a 26.2 miles (42.195
kilometers) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son
went on to complete the race together. Based on the TV interview of
Dick and Rick Hoyt, Dick, the father explained that Rick while still
in his mother's womb, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck
cutting off oxygen to the brain. And when Rick was born, the doctor
who was looking after Rick told Dick and his wife that Rick would
never be able to walk nor talk all his life that it would be best that
they put him away. But the Hoyts would not be willing to do such a
thing and decided to bring him home instead and decided likewise to
treat him just like anyone normal kid. So that when the family went
for a swim, Rick went with them and so on and so forth. It was one day
while watching TV that Rick saw a
benefit marathon for a paralytic child and he wanted to be a part of
the benefit marathon. And that started both father and son with their
races even while Dick had a heart condition and Rick himself was not
well all the time. In fact there were two years where they were not
able to join the races because Dick had a heart attack and the other
year was that (if I remember it correctly now, Rick was the one who
had a problem. And also based on an article that I read about them,
both had so far completed 212 triathlons, 4 15-hour Inronmans. And
that it was two years back from today, when Dick had his heart attack,
and his doctor said, had it not been his good physical condition on
account of the races, he would have died 15 years ago. Both then via
the races have served one another in a loving and wonderful way. Dick
humbly said in the interview when he was called a hero by the
interviewer, "I just simply love my family". And indeed, he loved them
even as he loved Rick that much that he committed himself to do the
tough physical demands of the races and the triathlons, the Ironman
that his son may have the chance to enjoy the races and be a part of
> > life. And in a return show of love and appreciation, Rick says this of
his father, "Dad is my hero." And to end my inputs on the father and
son, I'd like to end what Rick says that he likes most...(Rick types
using a special machine), he says, "The thing I most like is my dad
sit in the chair and I push him once." How touching!

Their reception was held on Lauren's parents land!! It was stunning! The moment we pulled up, we knew their reception was going to rock! The details are amazing. The cake was so creative! Since Ryder's last name is Peacock, this was the creative palette for the reception! The Grooms cake was a casino theme! Their first dance was perfect! The sun was setting right on them as they shared there first dance together! Here is a collection of images of Mr. and Mrs. Peacock!
