Its stories/people like this why I NEVER complain about anything. People think I'm weird for being content all the time, but they need to realize that there are people out there who have it a hell of a lot tougher than us and do a hell of a lot more than us. Greatest post of 2010.

Not gonna lie, if doctors told me the same thing they told "Richard" when his son was born....I'd probably break down. Lucky for Rick his father was a real man. Not only that but to raise a kid disabled to that extent and watch them lead a pretty normal life goal-wise...it's amazing. Went to high school, college, has a job, has his own place...it's inspiring to say the least. I'm not surprised though, it seems like perseverance is something embedded in the Hoyt DNA
