Pretty cool. For some of these young men, it is the first time playing with their father. This is a perfect opportunity for the fatherโs to teach their children about the word of God. It could be a way for them to bond.
Imprisoned fathers at Angola Prison spend Father's Day outside of prison with their sons, thanks to Christian organization 'God Behind Bars.'
For some fathers, it was the first time they had ever spent a whole day with their sons.
62 boys got to fish, play sports, and BBQ with their dads, many for the first time.
"Each dad wrote his son a personal letter and handed him a Bible to take home. Words of love, apology, hope, faith, and legacy were shared face to face..." the organization said.
Awesome.
Most of us have read the story of Beck Weathers' survival on Everest. In an era before social media, his ordeal became one of the mountain's famous stories of staying alive against impossible odds.
Today, we have witnessed Dawa Sherpa's survival unfold almost in real time. Time has carried us from then to now, but Dawa's story may stand as the greatest survival story Everest has ever seen.
Left behind high on the mountain and exposed to the elements, Dawa somehow found the strength to descend alone from near the death zone without assistance. Days later, he was found alive while crawling toward base camp.
People often say Sherpas are a different breed. Stories like this remind us why. For generations, they have shown a level of grit, and willpower rarely seen anywhere else on Earth. They keep moving where most would stop, and survive where few others could. Yet even by Sherpa standards, what Dawa survived is difficult to comprehend.
Everest has witnessed countless tragedies and only a handful of miracles. Dawa Sherpa's survival belongs among the greatest ever seen on the world's highest mountain.
