Please read the story below

To think how petty we are to complain about the tiniest things
that happen to us on a day to day basis.

This is a true story!


A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon
with me?'. The father who, despite having a heart condition,
says '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's 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 encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile
(3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2
kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon
along the coast of the Big Island . Father and son went on to
complete the race together. View this race at.....
