Next Time You Don't Feel Like Running...

I'll watch this a thousand times before I'll watch some low life who robs Girl Scouts.

Awesome.  I thank the Lord that my kids are healthy, but man, kids like Matt can show you that even the ones born with some horrible condition can't have their spirit stopped by a disease or affliction. 

The other kids were great.  Some parents raised their kids right.  I hope my kids can be so great.

Yeah, wish I had saw this first...

Dang it, I hate watching things like that at work...  Good thing no one walks in and I have to explain.

Years ago I had a swimmer that had CP (not quite a bad a this student) He could not lift his legs high enough to mount the blocks by himself. He begged us to let him swim the 500 in a competition.

In NYS the rules state that a swimmer must mount the blocks by themselves. Since they don't have hand rails I would coincidently stand next to the block with my back turned. He would grab my shoulder and pull himself up on to the block. None of the officials ever said a word.  

We finally relented At the next meet he was dead last but had both benches cleared cheering for him.

I wish I had thought to video that.

At 2:56 when it says that it was okay to start crying, well, I was already crying way before that.

Matt, that teacher, and those kids just showed me a thing or two today.

Thank you VERY much for posting this!
