My dad donated his kidney to me in 2009. My then wife left me while I was sick and took my children across the country. I fought for my children for years, and they are grown now. As my father did for me I pray that I can continue to live my life in a way that my children see the loving sacrifice of their father, a mere shadow of their Heavenly Father…
He's one of my motivation to pass my board exam. I failed many times but i never stop to try again.failure is just a trial.believe in yourself ,in GOD that you can do it!
@@sameerishaque7635 but believing God s more than u could hve. Bcuz, he s d alpha and d omega. He s omnipotent,omnibenevolent,omniscient...and trusting Him will raise u up sore high.
this video made me burst into tears. watching it and remembering my deceased father, really made me miss him more and really just had me in tears..love it.
I'm struggling really hard these days. And tears flowing through my eyes at 02:22 a.m. I miss my father more than anyone else in my life. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
10 years hence and i still watch this ever so frequently and being 26 and a man can never stop shedding tears. Love you Dada and Mama ❤🎉 the best Father ever in this world. I live tou so much its just that i cannot show it. I wanna give you so much more joy in this world. Thank you for always being there for me and never saying no....Loveeeee youuuuu
A real father with a real son;both with lion heart......I am proud of Derek and his dad.They jointly won the hearts of the spectators and everyone who watched that race despite losing the medal.Even years of the actual event,they're still celebrities...Games and races are not always all about winning but moral and convictions....I've always loved this video since I 1stly viewed it years ago...
Amen. My father left us when I was about 8 and never so much as looked back. Years later I called him just to make up for lost time and he played it off as if he didn't even know me. But I was able to establish a relationship with my Father in heaven that I never got to have with my father on earth and God has made all the difference. I love you, my Father, I love you, my Lord, I love you my Holy Spirit. Forever You will be my Father, forever I will be your child.
My math teacher showed us this video at a public school so he couldn’t show that last part. I stayed a bit after class and told him I wanted to finish the video on my own time. I watched this by myself and teared up a bit. This is such a powerful video I pray that more people click on it and watch it through to the end. ❤😢🎉
The part that gets me is at 3:00 when he realizes it is his dad and he breaks down, truly amazing moment when no one in the stadium matters other then these two. A tremendous moment showing the bond between father and son. Incredible...
This video has been motivating me from last 7 years and today I am appearing for my last exam of CA Finals. I am weak today, I am struggling, I am on verge of giving up, BUT I AM HERE TO PROMISE MR REDMOND, i will not let him down and fight today till 5 PM today when i get out of exam hall, I am not for once think I cant make it. I can and I will fight. I am strong , You raise me up to more than I can be ❤️
Im 25 and I wish that my dad was like him and to this day I will never have that love of a Father in my life theres only my mom 🙏🏽👍🏽 I send love to every father that love and care for their children
No matter how old I get, I'll never forget the men on whose shoulders I stand....my dad, my stepdad, my grandpop and my uncles. THANKS for scooping me up too....EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T WIN
I actually just discovered this video and texted it to my Mom to tell her to show it to my Dad (he never checks his text messages), specifically because I wanted my Dad to know that I *know* he'd be just like Jim Richmond if I were ever in Derick's position. And he has been, 100x, even if not in as visually striking of a way, but in no less real ways.
the love of a parent is awesome I love how as his father approached he looked up ready to refuse help but then saw it was his father and accepted the help. even as an adult a child can accept help from a parent regardless its universal.
I was watching a sermon by Billy Graham, and I took this brave athlete and his father as an example of thoughtfulness and strength of decision; to finish the journey, no matter how painful it was and the truth is I couldn't stand the tears, I had never seen it. What a unique father, seeing this scene moved me; I am going through a very difficult emotional trance, and this really made me reconsider and think about how wonderful Jesus Christ is, that is why whoever reads this I urge you to follow him because in him you will find the answer to his problem; Thank you Lord because you use pain to give joy of life to those of us who seek from you, but we always close ourselves in our vain way of thinking. I ask that whoever reads this, if they are going through a serious problem, remember that as this young athlete God supports him, look for him. As long as you have life, he is close to you, amen. God bless you!!!!!
Imagine his dad was there for him on his first step walking as a baby, as a kid whenever he got hurt from playing outside with his friends or as teenagers going through all lot of emotions and his dad was there for him even to till this day his father will be there for him to get up on his feet again. 😢😭💗💗💔
This is so inspirational on many levels. "To dream the impossible dream...etc... to run where the brave dare not go." "And the world will be better for this, That 1 man ..scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage, to reach the unreachable stars. The anonymous beggar who gives more in the collection box than they're able. The parable of the drummer boy. Derek Redmond did not have to do what he did but he chose to do so and that has made all the difference.
I HAVE WATCHED IT YEARS BEFORE , BUT I JUST FOUND IT UNKNOWINGLY ON RUclips NOW AND IT GIVES A DIFFERENT VIBE . THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I HAVE EVER WATCHED ON RUclips IN MY LIFETIME. THE STORY AND THE SONG MATCH LIKE HEAVEN
This takes me back some years. I loved watching sports competitions like the Olympics and I remember watching this on TV when it happened . The determination on the part of this young man was and always will be something that all of us should be encouraged by.
Τhank you Father. As it is written, "I will never leave you or forsake you." When You are our choice, our decision, You help us finish the race. As Redmond Sr did. A man with a heart in the right place. As You have done so many times before. You are faithful, true; Your Word "never returns void".Quietly, with integrity You are there. There is NO ONE like you. No thing or person can take Your place. You are All and EvERYTHING. Amen.
That man worked so f'n hard harder than any of us would ever even think about. And it all was gone in a matter of seconds but he was a beast to finish like a man. This is truly inspiring 👏
that is a model to what every father should be, by his child no matter what, that man is an awesome father and human being. That is family support and seeing your children through their trials and tribulations. Mr Redmond godbless you, you are an example for men to follow as a father.; You did what very few do you stood by your son and saw that it wasnt about winning it was about finishing what you start. the morals and ethics you must have instilled in your son are remarkeable, amen 2 you
What a wonderful testimony of Father's love and grace, and also the son's faithfulness to finish his race! 👏👏 All glory be to our loving Father GOD. Amen. Hallelujah! 🙌
Happy Father's Day To all Father because a father do all to finish his mission to all her family and his final mission is to raised all of her sons and they sacrifice they life to there family i'm Proud of all The father😭😭😭👏👏👏
My prayer is that I would be a father to my son and Jim was to his son. This video never fail to tear me up every time I watch it. I saw this as a someone's WhatsApp status about 10 years ago. I then looked for it now I have its link on my phone to motivate others.
I've watched every winter/summer games since 1972. I watched that race 400 m race live.. I lost control of my emotions. Very few moments in sports have made me that way.... The Womens' 1984 marathon with Andersen-Schiess , 1996 and Kerri Strug's guts , The 1980 Men's Olympic hockey team.... If you haven't witnessed those performances live, then you missed something VERY special.....
I really touch with this video, it's an awesome love of his father for the support through his failure. How much more our Father in Heaven, I was touch and can relate, all of us has an olympic to face in life. No matter what happen God will be with us together............
Today this great father passed away This video did make me burst a bit Guys be good to your fathers they do have a great loving heart some have trouble showing that but it’s there Just imagine the people who lost their fathers what would they do and how would they treat him if that was possible Cherish every moment
I'm still fighting no matter what the world has to offer. I have to return to my parents the love and sacrifice they gave me when I was young until now. After college, Ma and Pa, lemme handle everything because you've done enough for us and let yourselves take a rest. It's my turn now.
Thank you for sharing this video. How I long to have a father like all of you who have fathers who stand by your side, who lifts you when you are giving up. A father who can be proud of you. God, still I thank you that despite many hurts from my father, You are there to make people symbols of your love and that my longing is being filled with others. Thank you for these realizations that life is truly short so live it to the fullest, serving Him our father alone . tnx derek for the inspiration
The race is not giving to the swift nor the strong but He that endures to the end thank you Jesus for never leaving me nor forsaken me🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾 😭😭😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

NEVER !

I just learned about His Son and Him now around 10:20 pm
He finished the race with pure 100% dignity.
Also 100% a loser

A real father with a real son;both with lion heart......I am proud of Derek and his dad.They jointly won the hearts of the spectators and everyone who watched that race despite losing the medal.Even years of the actual event,they're still celebrities...Games and races are not always all about winning but moral and convictions....I've always loved this video since I 1stly viewed it years ago...
Liked in 2019
He gained much more than the medal and the winners that day, I'm fortunate and grateful that God also gave me a Superhero Dad.
Crying like baby 😢😊such a great motivational video ❤

love u derek...in the next day's newspaper only your name came up...not the name of the people who finished first,second or third.....
What did the paper say about him?
If an earthly father already loves us so much, then our Heavenly Father’s Love is beyond any measurements.
When you never quit you never lose 😢

There’s come a point in your life where you are mentally not able to give up, even through the pain.
Get help and/or help others.

Michele Brown so true 😢
Must be nice. Didnt have mine.
How disgusting to use this fantastic personal story to try and promote your religion. You should be ashamed of yourself.
so sad,, I can't stop cry when i watch this video,,
I rarely cry. But I cry every single time I see this video.
This video made me see we can never give up, no matter what happens, we need to continue as they say no pain no gain.
Exactly
And it so helps when someone who loves you is there to help you finish.
I remember this I cried long tears and still crying watching it again...If this could impact the world it would be a better place. 2021.
Im 25 and I wish that my dad was like him and to this day I will never have that love of a Father in my life theres only my mom 🙏🏽👍🏽
I send love to every father that love and care for their children
Carry the torch brother
No matter how old I get, I'll never forget the men on whose shoulders I stand....my dad, my stepdad, my grandpop and my uncles. THANKS for scooping me up too....EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T WIN
Everybody thinks they have an old boomer dad until you realize he’d be the one to do something like this.

It is the gangstas eyes sweating for me 😁
You do mean tear up right
You’re not a gangsta buddy…
Exactly, God didn't tear Derek's hamstring, but He gave Derek the strength and determination to go on.
This day will forever be remember 2023
I’m in tears (of joy…)… gets me each time❤️🥰😭 A father’s love is special…
To every Dad who gave up their comfort for their children God Bless you all.
My dad gave me a world and never ever asked or expected anything in return. I do the same for my son. It's called unconditional love.

one name defines heart, determination : Gabrielle Andersen-Schiess.. The last lap around the stadium is heart wrenching ...
I cried so much. This story is very touching and we need to trust in God when we feel like giving up. He is always there to raise us up
A father's love is priceless. I miss my father. RIP.
No clue how much I muss mine❤

One of the most the most basic and inspiring stories in human history. This will be told for hundreds of years to come.
I saw this in my growth mindset lesson in school, everyone was bursting in tears at the end. We had 2 WHOLE tissue boxes EPMTIED.
