I am with OLO. I feel lazy now. I do everything I can for my daughter when I can because I don't get to see her everyday. This story made me feel like I don't even begin to do enough.

I hear you bro. I have three kids myself. Teenagers at that. I do the best that can. NEVER stop telling her that you love here and don't put ANYONE
before her.

Amazing. Makes one feel inferior for caving in to the petty crap we think is hard in our day to day lives.

/three cheers and a prayer for both of them

I work with an attorney who has has competed in the Iron Man the past two years so I watch it and always just smile when I see this. It really puts it all in perspective. I can honestly say I've hoped it has made me a better Dad after watching the sacrifice Mr Hoyt has made for his son.

I always felt I was a good father. I can do better.

Awesome story, I remember reading Rick Reilly's article in SI a while back. Never saw the video. The images make it alot more powerful.

I love my boy soooooo much. With a little girl arriving in less than a month, I was really wondering how I would be able to do it.

There's no question we all have it inside us.
