A Story of Strongest Dad and a Paralyzed Son
An infant was embraced by the umbilical cord, and it paralyzed the infant for his entire life. He lost the movement ability except the eye movement left. His father did not abandon him, because he thinks his son is a human being and has consciousness. Someone donated a computer which is controlled by eye ball movement, so that the son can communite with others.
One day, the son said he wants to participate in Iron Man Triathlon. Is that possible for a paralyzed person? Most people thought he was daydreaming. However, his father responsed to a such impossible mission. The son sits on a wheelchair, and the father runs and pushes behind. The father didn’t swim at all, he ran to learn for his son’s dream. He put his son on a raft, and then he swims and pulls the raft.
