[Shellocker]

This guy is the strongest man on the planet!

[hu861212]

Yes...You can...you can!

[kfsky]

Esto si es inspiracion. Cuando pienses que todo es imposible, te daras cuenta q hay personas dispuestas a realizar lo imposible. Puedes?

[f05522555]

ooooh I am crying

[tryzbiak1]

Awesome........

[Deadlock671]

Chuck Norris evened cried to this

[karuxito]

Quedan brotes de humanidad en el mundo, imposible no llorar al ver el video y ver ese sentimiento tan humano, esa fuerza y ese espiritu. Actos como estos me llenan de orgullo

[JMcH]

23 atheists have watched this video.

[jbcooper916]

One of the greatest example of determination, spirt, and commitment that i have ever witnessed!



[volkmannDK]

So cute! :o

[ruyaloisio]

Dear RAY ,

I am from brazil , and I agree TOTALY with you ,,,,My son is Deaf and I can how hard they work to get over.......

[thornsx]

There are many types of love but a love between a parent and a child is without question the strongest.

[nyszfynest]

His eyes are beautiful

[JMcH]

@nyszfynest - If you read his story (a very short version of it is on Wikipedia -- search there for "Team Hoyt"), it was his eyes that made his parents not give up on him at birth like the doctors advised them to.

[MrXabi007]

lo que un padre hace por un hijo... :)

[wewe760223]

好感人喔T.T

[MBbemybestie]

My teacher showed us this cuz we r reading a book about disabled kids i got misty eyed!!

[boxdog31425]

ผมเป็นคนไทยครับ ไม่มีอะไรที่สุดยอดเท่านี้อีกแล­้วครับ

[JarrodFritsch]

This is simply an amazing story. It never ceases to amaze me, regardless of how many times I see footage on the Hoyt story. Truly inspirational.  If you think that you can't, what this and maybe you will change that to a CAN !!!

[coleworm61]

this is one of the most amazing and inspirational things i have ever seen. this is love

[TheMaximfallen]

they not ironman... is superman... real superman..

[paokara9392]

[maris20able]

muy bueno, yo tengo una nena con sindrome de down y daria la vida por ella ♥♥♥♥♥

[serjintan]

That wasn't his brother, it was his son

[ChiiSaiROX]

That Man was amazing to do that for his brother!

[RayWilliamJohansen]

i hate this video

it made me cry

the sons retarded face and the father keeping up with his bullshit

his dad really loves him :(

[n3zyd]

@RayWilliamJohansen

People with Cerebral palsy are NOT retarded mentally, same IQ as anyone else,mind trapped in a body that does not function, could you find the guts to go on day after day?

My cousin fought the good fight against CP for years, He was the most courageous person I have ever met, videos like this inspire me and show me I have no excuses

[kpfcook88]

God Bless You

[markwdupree]

All the hype around athletes like Labron, Jordan, Woods, Jeter, T.O., all the incredible people winning awards at the ESPY's... I would say none of them have the ability to be the kind of athletes and AMAZING people as Dick and Rick. You both aspire to more than the human condition could ever achieve. Bless you both!!

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@markwdupree

lets not get carried away

[eulalio44]

people this is sad

[JohanofDead]

Mucho Padre =´)

[olakonie]

ja pierdole, jak można dać nie takiemu filmowi!!!!!! chyba na złość, żeby setki nie miał...

[rekram01]

beat out all the stops because they can ... Can you love ... I have never seen so much genuine love between father and son. I can not watch without crying

[HeadstrongSiblings]

Bro: Im sooo motivated now

Sis:when i saw this video i cried. that is one strong team.

[wedgejt]

Hawaii is indeed heaven - a place of miracles!

[filipbolt]

GOD BLESS US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reneruisfroilan]

y are there 21 dislikes?

[filipbolt]

we must try

[hmsd240587]

ao nosso deus tudo é possivel

[Sunshine25LLL]

I personally find it strong to post your weakness here. Because you have to be very honest to confess that you would kill your own blood...

If you would get deeper into this topic you would know that rick has graduated, what you might not have done. He also manages to live his life.

And you can never say how live goes, but one thing is for sure, they both filled the room, which common people fill with pain, bad thoughts and agression, with love and are an inspiration, both, Rick and Dick!

[victor36075]

este video es el de un padre preocupado no por como nacio su hijo si no como hacerlo sentir el mundo y al darse cuenta que responde a los estimulos se preocupo por que su hijo no se perdiera de nada.

[RayWilliamJohansen]

even though his son is a lost cause and a retard

his father still puts up with him and loves him

that is TRUE love

because if it was me i would of killed it or gotten rid of it

[SoooBlue]

@RayWilliamJohansen How the hell is he a lost cause?

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@SoooBlue

because he needs help doing things other people can do

like go shit without help

being able to get around without the machine

but i really admire the dad

so yeah

get over yourself

[SoooBlue]

@RayWilliamJohansen Get over myself, says the person who's referring to Rick Hoyt as "it" and declared you'd have murdered him. Too funny.

[Lootmeister]

You're a real piece of shit Ray. I hope you get hit by a drunk driver.

[Lootmeister]

You're a real piece of shit Ray. I hope you get hit by a drunk driver.

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@Lootmeister

hey

im just doing what my parole officer said

be honest

lol

[Sunshine25LLL]

@RayWilliamJohansen

If you would get deeper into this topic you would know that rick has graduated, what you might not have done. He also manages to live his life alone. Would you be able to do without any parents? WHere is the loss?

And you can never say how live goes, but one thing is for sure, they both filled the room, which common people fill with pain, bad thoughts and agression, with love and are an inspiration, both, Rick and Dick!

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@Sunshine25LLL

yeah TONS of people have done what he has done and i have not relied on my parents since i was 16 heck i started paying rent etc

and how am i being a dick ? hey i am sorry the truth hurts

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@Lootmeister

and wishing some else to die

is okay right ?

[drunkpanda22]

@RayWilliamJohansen your a fucking dick

[SoooBlue]

These two are a huge inspiration to me. Things like this make me appreciate what I have, I'm sure Rick would have been someone eager to fulfil a life full of physical exercise, sometimes I need to remind myself how lucky I am to be able to essentially live other peoples dreams.

I think Rick's lucky to have such a good father. I respect him immensely.

[steppres]

That's pretty awesome for a retarded person.

[pttrro]

@Galowave shut up ur fucking mouth mthf

[Aquicidy]

Simply amazing, inspirational, and touching...

[RayWilliamJohansen]

you fucking assholes

i almost bursted out crying

[salve789]

20 people CAN'T

[MrDannythedick]

devil had to do 20 accounts to dislike this :/

[obiwan241]

Cuando me siento mal, veo este vídeo y de nuevo , creo hay algo porque luchar y dejarse doblegar por las dificultades de la vida.

[breakern1]

I can only imagine that those 20 people are serial killers 

[TranTrungVideo]

every time I feel guilty about what I do, I often look at "20 dislikes" in this video, then I feel better.

[Fontesgf]

20 people must GTFO.

[arbeibm]

i cried, its Amazing

[MrDzemolada]

The best music for this video is Gladiator - Honor him

[jaavii5]

This video keeps me going day in day in my life when I am unable to watch this video with something and move on, give me strength to continue to reach any goal, when I was small but very bad times and pass through I taught this video I tackle the problem and move forward, now I look at life differently, the moment to moment he saw and if you ever doubt this video with something to help me, so I want to thank you for uploading the video, thanks from my heart.

[dem0000]

I cry every single time I watch this video. What amazing love. You can easily see how happy and greatful his son is. There aren't really words for it. This could be put in any dictionary as a example of what true love is. I don't know how anyone would put dislike on this video.

[LifeIsFreerideTheory]

lucky boy....

[jorxitoherrera]

THIS VIDEO IS FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DOESNT KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE,,,,,,,,,,,,

[yadilyna]

wish my father loved me 10% of what dick loves his son rick

[never2bold]

20 people wouldnt do the same for there child!

[jaavii5]

20 people have no heart.

[cooknthyme]

@jaavii5 those 20 people probably believe in " I  Can't "

[jaavii5]

@cooknthyme true...

[song2544]

@jaavii5 i think they don't have dad...

[thejoerice]

20 people can't 

[TheRugby4life]

i dont understand how anyone could dislike this story, it is a very inspirational story about a father's unconditional love, i hope when i have a child of my own, i will love them as much as Dick loves his son

[tanosi0110]

The power of love what a great!

[maxchanuk219]

This is the power of love!

[2008bronsonsgirl]

The smiles of the son say it all

[light2486]

看完超感動的...這位父親真的太偉大了 (ㄒ_ㄒ)"

[GustavoMdeOliveira]

@light2486 "After reading over moving ... the father really is too great" according to Google Translater

[soccerlover12424]

my biology teacher showed this to us in chapel. i was seriously ready to bawl out in tears. so hard to hold it in. this is truly inspiring.

This video in itself restores my faith in humanity. i just hope i can be that good a father one day.

[brendalela]

unbelievable.This is the best expression of a fathers love I have ever seen.

[archie1961]

[MrJsizzle101]

[Marciaribeiro]

That means...LOVE !!!

[senipadu]

[orlytri]

[jhendershott]

Wow this video makes me tear up and I'm a big tough linebacker. I want to be a father like this one day.

[NewEnglandGal6288]

Who would ever dislike this? The people who did have NO heart. Dick Hoyt is an AMAZING dad though. I never realized how lucky I am to be able to walk and talk and even see!

[TheMezack]

emocionante no mundo de hoje dificilmente existem pais assim

parabéns

[dorani25]

Θέληση...Αγάπη....Σεβασμός...Κ­ατανόηση...Ελπίδα....Δύναμη!!

[Petrokwstas]

I CAN'T STOP CRYING!!!!

[martinbigmamma]

I'm fuckin big guy and I'm crying like a little baby...

[JCM0623]

Team Hoyt are true, "Ironmen."

[wkadd]

last time i cried,i was 10 or 12 i cant remember, now at the age of 29 i am happy to say i have cried again, damn i forgot how it feels.

A father love has no bounderies, Respect from beirut/Lebanon to the hoyt family

[checho9876543210]

man I am 2 inches away from crying

amazing story

[rockiejohnnykrismaar]

@checho9876543210 You actually survived this video without crying? Dude you are tough! :-)

[waishan3164]

from 3:16 we can know the son was very delight,I thought the daddy 's hard were not waste!what a touching story!

[TheAargus]

whatta huge amount of LOVE!

[Kadishona]

I have never thought a clip of any kind can make a tear subside on my face... until now!

[TyreezyTyrak]

support them, here is their website! teamhoyt (insert dot here) com

[TyreezyTyrak]

amazing... "I can only imagine" how it felt to cross that finish line... it's so powerful to finish without carrying your son all the way... I can only imagine how powerful that was.

[jkthemod]

we ALL walk in the shadow cast by Dick Hoyt.

[MegaRuester]

Dick Hoyt is the definition of selfless.

[pennyloveseddy]

Thank you dad,I love you.

[webaholicsweet]

when i saw this video was on tv i was crying because i dont believe that father pickup the son with him and iam a married person without child, young, healty and i dont understand the lucky am I because i can walk, run, swim, bycle almost everything, i saw this a 1 week ago and now change my diet, im trying to effort in everything and when i feel tired i think in this father (how tired he was), i just want to say thanks for this inspirational video, thanks.

[anchetajomari]

ang ganda ng mining niya

gumagawa cya ng paraang para maging masaya ang kanyang anak

[gumi595]

lehet nemkedvelni nemtetszeni de szerintem a fiuú egy a természet torzulásai kozul és nem életrevaló az apa pedig tényleg egy ironman

[s8bame]

In this video you can really see what a parent really is, a person that stay always by your side and never gives up to do anithing for his child

[s4a4v4y]

Margaret Sanger, founded planned parenthood, to abolish the physically and mentally challenged, and guess what also what she thought to be the inferior . she targeted the blacks and asians mostly...true story...may God have mercy on her and on us

[amy26346]

I cried.... T_T

[s4a4v4y]

If I was able to aquire 10% of unselfishness, I would be a better person

[NinjaNarutoJapan]

oooh, imagine it dream, go with God's way ... I'm clapping for you

[s4a4v4y]

hleah000, it is only because in everything we do, our Lord is with us, in our good times and our struggles.in our smiles and our tears...tell me why if thats what WE choose, why does it interfere with your life......if this is true..tell me if you believe this......and if you do believe this, ask yourself , why.?......"if you choose to fight evil with evil , then evil wins".......you want your opinion spoken , but tell everyone else to keep their opinion to themselves....to learn is to live

[AhLeah000]

I love this video ... Rick and Dicks love for each other is a lesson to all parent, even those that think they are great parents .... as a mother of a young child with CP I don't get where you nutters think god comes into it ... but do me a favour and please don't try to explain it to me and stop telling us how merciful he is because its a crock!!!! ..... Go Team Hoyt

[forknecker]

@AhLeah000 I feel sad for your child that you don't know the LOVE OF GOD! As a mother with a child born with CP I thank GOD everyday for his healing power. Doctors said my daughter would never walk she couldn't do this and that Let me tell you GOD has the last say and He is MERCIFUL!!! She walks ( maybe not like you or me ) when they said she couldn't learn I moved so they had to mainstream her. She graduated College and is working on her masters. Drives w/o modifications. I'll pray 4 u 2 GOD...

[s4a4v4y]

to be as strong, to be without shame, to be loved, to be among freinds, to have something to live for, to know there is a God, to be so unique and special....just like everyone else

[allforthelordjesus]

WHAT A VIDEO REALLY SAYS TO ME THAT AS I WATCH THIS MAN CARRING HIS SON THROUGH THIS WHAT OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS AND HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO WITH ALL YES ALL OF US ALSO REMINDS ME OF THE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND WRITING HOW TRUE AND MR HOYT GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

DAVE AND JAMIE IN HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA

HUGS....

[axelaael09]

I miss my dad =/ Thank God there's a father who KNOWS how to be a good role model not only for their children, but for others as well. <3

[justinkwl]

What I would do to be AT that very finish line to watch them finish and hear the crowd. And see the faces of the Hoyts.

I would understand the meaning of life right there and then.

[goodguyfun]

The religious stuff posted here is creepy. I think they are just 2 fantastic people!!

[KumaCambodia]

@goodguyfun I'll second that. These are two amazing people, leave your religion out of it please and just find inspiration in this man; we all walk in his shadow. Don't bring his accomplishments down by giving credit for his actions/life/love to something like a god. If there is a 'god' his name is Dick Hoyt.

[metylowiec]

piękne ! jestem wzruszony ..

great dad..

Das Video bringt so viel Mut weiter zu kämpfen. Ich kenne das Video schon auswendig. Ich sehe es immer wieder gerne und kämpfe mit meine Tränen. Mein Sohn ist auch schwer behindert!!
