Patrick Henry Hughes - Inspirational Story

Patrick Hughes is a young man at Univ. of Louisville who was born blind and crippled and yet now plays the piano beautifully as well as "marches" in the Louisville marching band. This was a piece done during ESPN College Gameday on 12/2/2006.

Note: I am not affiliated with the Hughes family. Just someone who finds their story wonderful.

His father is the TRUE inspiration...the guy works his ass off 19 hours a DAY and doesn't complain one bit...now that is a real father....makes me look like a fucking ass hole when I bitch that I have to go to two maybe three classes a day in college and am fortunate enough to have parents that can afford to send me to college with no need for student loans or to get a part time job. I need to work 3 hours a day and still bitch all the time, wow I am a fucking prick. His father is a hero.
