Thanks for the link. We have recently admitted a man with CP, same age as Rick Hoyt, and his medical history says he is "profoundly mentally retarded" but he hears and understands what is said to him, is able to express his dislike or anger with facial expressions. I wonder now if he'd had the same life experience as Rick Hoyt he would have thrived.
PF, of all the runners in the Marathon, this father/son team get the loudest cheers from the folks on the sidelines all along the whole 24.6 miles of the race. And the TV stations always cover them while they are running and on the six o'clock news at night. It wouldn't be news if they didn't cover them. When they cross the finish line, you would think they ran the race in under ten minutes and came in first. I personally think they are the most important ones in the race. It shows what love can do.
