Thanks for the amazing link! It's so ironic that those who we classify as 'weak' or 'disabled' are often the ones that inspire us 'strong' and 'enabled' people and teach us how to live life.

Others to be noted here are: Stephen Hawking, Stevie Wonder, Late.Ray Charles and the many others who made up in terms of Human Spirit what they lacked in Human Ability.

I saw this video and know of this father-son pair.
It touches and inspires me everytime I see them...
