One Father's Love for His Son

On Father's Day, Twitter user Justin Hart shared the story of how his father encouraged and supported him as he tried to become an Eagle Scout.

Hart had to submit his Eagle paperwork to the Boy Scouts before he turned 18. The deadline was 5 days away. The papers were in his father's office at the top of a skyscraper in San Francisco.

Then the 1989 San Francisco earthquake struck. The city was devastated. Hart's father knew that Justin's only chance of making Eagle lay in retrieving those papers from his office. So he climbed more than 50 floors up to retrieve them, then drove back home through the shattered city.
