His dad's my role model. I respect both father and son. I wouldn't be able to do that.

After having watched this, I told my parents how much they mean to me. Like Derick, my father has held me upright when I just wanted to give up and when I needed him the most with my mother at his side.

If you still have living parents, take your chance and tell them too. Tomorrow, you might not get that chance.

I brought myself here just because this moment inspires me. I thought everyone was saying this moment was pointless which seemed awfully cynical until I saw a dozen "pointless" comments. Some kind of show?
