I know our son would tell you that his dad was the best. He gave his all and learned how to work the system to our son's best advantage. He spent hours with him perfecting his basketball skills and worked with him to get him into the best college for him. This involved countless hours at ball games, making hours of demo tapes to take to college coaches, then taking him on a road trip to visit the coaches. All done for the sheer love of him.
Here's another heartwarming story of a dad and son. I'm so glad they have the videos of Patrick Henry Hughes as a very young child! From an early age he showed musical ability which his father fostered.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born blind but plays in the University of Louisville pep band thanks to the aid of his father.
Patrick says that he feels blindness is not a disability, but being able to see is. He is not hampered, he says, by anyone's appearance, their clothes or hair style. He's sees the inner person. There are many videos of him on youtube. I have only shown a few of them here. I was unable to find one of him playing Amazing Grace at the Crystal Cathedral.
And he and his father have written a book: I am potential: 8 life lessons in living, loving and reaching your dreams
Life is beautiful, if you count your blessings. Patrick Henry Hughes
Clair de Lune
Somewhere over the rainbow:
The book is also available for Kindle @ $9.15.
He has also recorded 2 music CDs "Most Requested From Me to You" available for $15 each. Amazing Grace is on his first CD. His second has other songs.
He is an inspiration!
