Could there be anything more horrifying? How could parents be so cruel,absolutely insensitive to their own children's feelings? Last year around the same time Josef Fritzl of Austria, a sick father, was arrested on several charges including rape of his own daughter for 24 long years. The verdict is out today, thankfully. Josef will spend his remaining years in prison. A businessman in India, from Mumbai to be precise has been arrested today on similar charges - sexually abusing his daughter for 9 long years, and all for what - getting rich! -apparently a tantrik had recommended this horrible route to the greedy father. I'm sure there are many more Fritzels in hiding- and may be someday their masks too will be removed - Sick psychopaths in the guise of parents. At a time when the whole world is feeling terrible with the revelation and magnitude of such horrendous stories a friend of mine sent me this story of love - love of a father for his son, a disabled son, a moving story indeed. It is heartening to see what parents will do, to what extent they will go just to make their children happy. Wish we had more of this tribe. Here's the story...
One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?”
The father says "yes".
And they run their first marathon together.
Another time, the son asks his dad again "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?”
The father says "yes son".
One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running?)
And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip.
Just amazing, how much can love be..... ?
