AMAZING SON & FATHER. We sit here & complaint about stupid stuff in the world. I wish more people had the spirit that these two guys have. YOU should be greatful for what GOD has given you...

[lloydchristy]

I am lost for words! I live half way across the states, but this story transcends borders. I salute your attitude Patrick Jr. And to Mr. Hughes Sr. Sir, you are the epitome of fatherhood. I can type volumes about you guys, but I'll eventually get back to square one (lost for words). Thanks for making this video to the Hughes family and CBS. I do not have a shadow of a doubt that video will inspire many. So, a big thanks from all of us who have, are and will be inspired. All the best!

[MolassesPBongwater]

Two tough men, one awesome team, and a beautiful story.

[nobodyhavetotellme]

@665killer you are a sad little person :S

[ljbgamer]

@665killer hey... dont talk about yourself that way your "one in a billion" :)

[TheSuperduck23]

Disability is just a state of mind.... something keeping you from doing something you want to do. It just means some people need to work harder to achieve goals, or take more time to do so....

I am absolutely touched.... this is an incredible story about a loving father and his son.

[jrlueken]

We are Louisville football season ticket holders who have watched Patrick (&dad) perform at halftime for years......a great inspiration to all !

[TheGloria1111]

It's all about you Father...father...Father! May you cherish you ARE...And who He IS!

Thank you for sharing...and INspiring!!!

I would rather have been born without eyes. He is lucky to not see the ugliness that the world shows us daily.

You and your Dad are amazing. God bless the Hughes family. I can't wait to go buy your book tomorrow. You are a REAL inspiration.

[BeauJames59]

I just want to take a TEENY TINY bit of this away with me, and I KNOW I'll have a fantastic day!

[intruderglf]

If I was half the man this dad is, I would be at least twice the man I am.

[magga1234]

@intruderglf so ur like 1/4 of the man his dad is?

[BonesandDoyleRock]

1:08 and 1:15... cute.

I'm about to write a paper about him for school as my "person I admire." I just have to include the dad. How devoted, both of them!

[JasielMartin92]

People with special needs could do many great things.And also great talent

Patrick Henry Hughes - Sexy beast

[AM2M]

Wow, and I thought I was a good parent, this guy is definitely is the dad of the decade

[Dauntless07]

I know this guy. I'm a freshman this year, and decided to join marching band. It is an honor to march with someone who would give a field to our band.

[AmbersCrookedSky]

@Dauntless07 that is so awesome :) He is amazing, and also marching band is amazing!

[klompmer]

[reynaerica]

dude!

[euphoniummharon007]

what a wonderful kind father!

[CodeNameD1]

what a wonderful father.

[1AMMO1]

amazing

[CalipariCurse]

So, what is the Calipari Curse?

Missed free throws.

When the game is on the line, when the heat is turned up, you can count on any team Calipari is coaching to miss free throws.

Beware the missed free throws...

[deafchi]

aw he amazing

i see him on extreme makeover

and i hope god bless you and your family!!

=)

[RodStewartfan1]

He is such an amazing human being! God bless him and his family!

[collegestudent29]

Patrick you are amazing. I first saw you on Extreme makeover. May God bless you always.

[PatrickHenryHughes]

OK. I'll bite. Other than a couple of people in the UL Athletic Department, I can't imagine anyone writing what TheBoss502 wrote. You say we went to school together all those years and I can think of no one whom could feel about me the way you do. Who are you? What makes you feel the way you do?

[The391956]

@PatrickHenryHughes

Disregard "The Boss502" he or she is jealous of you and is most likely a big

failure in life. This person is a failure you know well most likely a drunk or

heroin addict who will be tomorrows homeless begger bum of prison.

On yourself you are so good that you should go on Americas Got Tallent.

God Bless You and Your Dad

[finabardo]

PATRICK IS AWSOME

[daphilster78]

Terrific story of overcoming adversity. A testament to 2 people who never gave up.

[tkn510]

"THE BOSS502" you have some real nerve to write some shit like that and need to take your petty ass on somewhere! Patrick Hughes is an Amazing young man and EVERYONE should have the up most respect for this young man. It saddens me to see people like "THE BOSS502" (who wrote the comment underneath me) write such horrible stuff about others just to make themselves feel better. GO PATRICK!! God bless you & your whole family!!!

[alex1735]

hey dude what you say might be true but come man...the kid doesn't have eyes and he can't walk..think about a day with out vision that shit can't be easy

[southerndream2008]

God Bless you and your family! Its an awesome story, truely great! Yall are a blessing!!!!

[sl1ker]

One day I hope to be a great father like Mr.Hughes. God bless him!

[caled2care]

This boy really doesn't have any disabilities with a father like that. Thank you for an uplifting & inspiring message that needed to be told.

[13slimjim13]

i go to most of the cardinal games and i see him and think its great!

[6969wrath]

Awesome father....always nice to know people like that are out there.

[XfreeXskierX31X]

[svhbadbh]

I like this...

[NYGiantsNYYanks]

Saw this story before, very good.

[Kirkh666]

strong persons...this clip makes me hate my dad...he is a sucker

[MakeUAStar]

I would like to see an update on this story very soon. Many time good things go unnoticed because of what sells, what is amiable, what is current, and who will care, or even watch. People watch anything that touches them. We need to see more of what Patrick Henry Hughes is doing today, and how his family gives all. I do think special mentions are in order. Thank you for your time.

[carmodypj]

Great story ...What an inspiring and dedicated father and son ! True act of love.

[ban10hut]

[Adimisk]

You are BOTH a Beautiful inspiration to a world that says, You must be perfect to succeed. Perhaps love, is truly the one thing anyone needs? Maybe someone to believe in us, is all anyone needs! God bless you!

[deck80]

Keep up this good work...and may thinking of people like Patrick help us to overcome the little problems we undergo that seem impossible to overcome...

[Butters1924]

[chevsnholdens]

Awesome!!

Very inspiring :D

(W00t, first comment!)

[LoveSovereign]

Wow ... God bless him. Marching band is hard enough, but it must be impossible pushing someone else to their set and having to memorize your music without looking at it.

[virgo1000]

What a story! Congrats on being a great team, Father-Son, life-lessons from Patrick Henry Hughes. Thank you.

[Dianaxxoo]
