Now that's a hell of a father, if you ask us. Imagine rolling his wheelchair with his son on his lap daily. If you look at the photos, his son is quite big already and carrying him daily is surely not an easy feat. How much more if it is raining with all the cars and commuters hustling and bustling around them.
