Patrick Henry Hughes @ ESPN Awards Ceremony part 1

[drathhh]

wow i play trumpet and i understand the difficulties of playing trumpet alonebut now i just have to say that this is one inspirational person to inspire anyone that they can do anything they want to do in life no matter what set backs you face. You sure did inspire me to play 100 percent every time i step out onto my high school football field as a senior.

[gagokahno]

Patrick, what inspires me the most is your attitude. It's hard enough to overcome the things that you have, but having such a great attitude and being thankful for everything you have, to me, is the most amazing and important part of your story. You ARE truly blessed to be a part of God's work

[colleenlambert]

What an inspiration and a wonderful pure voice! Raw talent!! God Bless you!!

[bmbandgeek09]

I think it is going to be an honor marching beside you this year Patrick.

[mailee0515]

People always say that Moms make the most sacrifices but this Dad is a super hero! Wow, what sacrifices he makes for his beloved son and what a truly inspirational person Patrick is.

[jesusluvsu02]

WOW! Patrick Henry is an amazing man! He has accomplished so much and his outlook on life is so encouraging! And his dad Holy Cow what a sacrifice he has made for his son he is truly what a real daddy should be! This story all around is so inspiring and if you have not seen him on extreme home makeover you should watch it cause he performs on there a couple of time and I guarantee it will make you cry.

[krazy16dude]

Cool!

[clayguy1]

Patrick could be such a powerful representative of the people who've suffered a handycape. I would also love to see some music company, produce a cd, of his music. He's truely amazing. I'm sure there are so many Patricks out there.

[paulina81407]

Patrick inspires me so much

[cliffc276]

Patrick is a remarkable man. I think we will be hearing more of him and his music in the future.

Way to go ABC in giving this family a home and this man a chance to succeed.

[scottb225]

I think Patrick Henry is extremly awsome. And the things that patrick has acomplished is truley phenominal and has really inspried my life. I enjoyed watching the extreme make over show with patrick and his family in it. the house is awsome...and patricks new apartment is very cool.

[cboyd16]

Patrick's New home is amazing. Go Patrick! Abc did a great job

[Brynne21]

I remember seeing this when it happended, so I was really excited to see the Hughes family was the recipient of a new home form Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I just finished watching the Extreme Makeover show. There are a lot that have been moving, but none that have moved me to tears like Patrick Henry singing "I Believe" at the end of the show. Wow, AMAZING. Way to go Patrick Henry! Congratulations to the Hughes family.

[softballsweetie94]

i can't wait to see their new house.

I already know about some but want to know more

[knightryderrwn]

OK, I'm fighting back tears....even though this is the second time I've seen the ESPN piece, it still moves me to tears...and, I said it before, I'll say it again - he obviously lives by the mantra "Can't can't do nothin...never has, never will! Success comes in 'cans,' not 'cant's '!"

[jbocardfan]

I just wanted to pass on my congratulations to Patrick Sr/Jr for their Extreme Makeover prize. I have had the opportunity to run into this pair several times at UL sporting events. I am hoping to make it out to the contruction site this week sometime!

[matojo1968]

This is simply awesome. People talk about a mother's sacrifice, but this is Super Dad. I wish you both the best. Today I became a better father to my son after watching this video.

[rebel311girl]

I heard about Extreme Home Makeover today, too! A friend's family is doing some work. They could not have picked a more deserving family in our area! I have seen the Patricks Jr. & Sr. speak (and play music) at a meeting several months ago, and this young man is simply amazing! He's not "disabled," he's "enabled"! A true inspiration to any person! I have an autographed copy of his CD which I cherish!

[radioman1450]

Patrick and his family have been selected for Extreme Home Makeover. They are in Louisville shooting right now!

[awb0261]

Prise God for your testimony! the things you have overcome are in-fact a "big deal," but you let God's grace show through you by focusing the positive and not the negative. You are a great man and I pray God continues to bless you and your family.

[awb0261]

It is so helpful for everyone to realize that with every adversity comes a seed of equivalent or greater benefit, something you have obviously grasped at a young age. No one can control what God gives us to live this life, but we can control what we do with it. Our testimony only comes through adversity and the greater the adversity, the greater the testimony.

[awb0261]

Patrick, I love your attitude and outlook for life. You can be sure that your desire to inspire others is being realized through your positive example.

[rrpatton3]

I Just want to say I that You two have touched my life. I have never seen so much love between a father and a son.

You are both Heros in my eyes.
