I have no words to describe how wonderful this video is. I've seen them all and I fell I am a better person after watching them. Thanks for sharing and congratulations for being such a great family. After watching your story nobody can doubt that God existis and he does love us and made us as perfect as he is. You are perfect!! Perfect Dad and perfect Son!!!!! Wish I could see you someday!!!
Thank you for posting this video....very beautiful and touching. His love and and sacrifice speak louder than words. You are you a great father. God loves you sir. You are special to Him.
Your devotion shows how there is no age limit on helping your children. It's popular today to abandon them when they turn 18 & claim your job is done. Some kids need us alot longer & what's wrong with that? Only wish I were as good a parent as you are, thanks for the inspiration!
"I just think that I'm myself" - The most humble man ever. Good God you are a legend who's story will hopefully be passed on to others. I respect and salute you, your son is one of the most gifted people on the planet to achieve what he has despite his difficulties. How has he managed this? Through his father. I wish I could shake your hand sir.
I am completely in awe of Team Hoyt's achievements. Superlatives just don't do justice to the courage, spirit and love shown in the video. I'm disappointed though that people are using this as a platform to spout their religous rubbish. You don't need to a supernatural being to do what Team Hoyt has done, this is human endeavour in it's sweetest, most beautiful form. Dick and Rick Hoyt are truly amazing human beings, the love they share is evident, and they are an inspiration to all of us.
This is truly God's vision of love. What would the world be like if we were to multiply this form of love one thousand times over. This is amazing and inspiring!
We relate to God the Father according to our experiences with our own earthly fathers. When you see Team Hoyt, then you are able to get a glimpse of how God the Father loves and cares for us.
i amamazed by his love for his son. the story of him and his son gave me the drive to do what i can to help whoever i can. and after the first day i saw this.i had told my grandfather how hurtful it was for me to see him smoke cigerets.he listend and the next day he threw all his cigs out and so ..he is now 9 months smoke free..but it was one of the greatest feelings of my life, so far. to help someone in little ways. Thank you Team hoyt.you have inspired me so much.you are truly a godsend
Badass in our culture ia a compliment of the highest. It may be crude but it does not negate the fact that it expresses sincere respect. So while you may disagree with his choose of semantics, we must all agree on his sentiment.
Thank you Dick for having proved your love and commitment to your son regardlessly, despite your heart break, pain or agony. Your example of how the Good Lord of Love has helped you do so, we are very grateful for.
I saw this for the first time today and it's one of the most honest, faithful, and empowering tributes to the strength of love that I've ever seen. I was moved beyond words.
aside from the fact that this is a beautiful story with an incredible father and son, from an athletic point of view dick is an absolute animal especially for his age
wow....respect and I wish there were more people like you...and Dick you mustnt feel disabled....you are who you are and everybody loves you becouse of that
This man is an angel. Rick Hoyt is the true symbol of love and sacrifice. If only we could all live so self-less, the world would be such a wonderful place.
For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life. JOHN 3:16
One day when we get to heaven I will introduce you to my son Brock. He was alot like you Rick, man did he enjoy life. Thanks again for the washing from the inside out. In Christ, Danny B. Joyner
I say live and let live. Whatever gets you through hard times is a good thing. I don't believe in pushing others to share my beliefs but I do wish for them to find strength wherever they can. I don't think this inspirational video about two great people deserves to be lessened by an arguement over religion. This is about them.... not you.
why bring religion into this? this is for team hoyt. not for you to talk about your relioginal beliefs. we all have different beliefs, but thats beside the point. Dick Hoyt has to be th happiest guy in the world. Something we can only dream of. Life is what we make it and dick shows that.
wow.. all you people that are like God/Jesus gave him this condition need to not be such assholess..
God does everything for a reason.. Just think about it, if he didnt have this condition then there he wouldnt have been able to show all those other disabled people that there is something to live for in life and that you really dont just have sit back and watch that you can join in.
"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that... nothing can seperate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37&39

Uh, no. This is what the compassion and support of a loving father does. This is 100% the Hoyts. You ain't stealin' any credit from them and giving it to no god.
WOW. Your so christian. In fact you are. Like all other christians say, "Beleive What I Say, God Does Everything, Blah Blah Blah.." God isn't the cause of everything. Just saying that. The father helped his son. Not god. God gave his son the problem in the first place if you even want to belive that.
Why you believers try to push us 'god' in averything? If you see any of their interviews, theres no religious, mistical, metaphor, analogy, or any other crap. This is just, and simply, an amazing and bealtifull story of a father commited and dedicated, unconditionally in love for his son. PERIOD! Cant you just see the HUGE beaty on that? Do we have to put god on things to turn then pretty, or worthy? can't HUMAN values be good anouth for you, believers?
not everybody is mad at God. God is the best dad and God is love. God gives us everything we have including love for our children which ultimately comes from God. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17. All human values come from God. We are made in HIS image. God is above all!
Don't kid yourself! And you talk about your human values! What happened to the beauty of your human values! That is not beautiful! That is UGLY human values! One day you too will bow down to the Almighty. Jesus Christ already won the battle at the cross so why fight it. It's a hopeless cause. "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Romans 14:11-12.
i travelled to hawaii from australia in 99 and was fortunate enough to see dick and rick race that day.all didnt go to plan that day but to be there and able to see them was truely inspirational.
dick to me is truly one of the toughest men alive.
rick is and amazing human i hope when my daughter grows up i will be able to share great moments like this
