I wonder how many mothers would have aborted this great kid.

We never know what we are cheating the world out of when we abort a child.

Thanks, from someone who is recovering from cancer surgery and needed to be lifted from self pity.

>> The elder Hughes said that despite the challenges, he feels blessed.

He IS blessed. People who are too selfish and lazy to help those in need end up feeling haunted and cursed. This is why:

"At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you took me in.’" -- Mother Teresa

"Thanks, from someone who is recovering from cancer surgery and needed to be lifted from self pity."

It's all in the attitude. The kid and his father have incredibly positive ones. I can see where this article would uplift you also, and I wish you the best in your recovery. You too can pull through this bad patch when you pull out a steely will and resolve. Go for it!

This is a GREAT story!!! Gotta love this...

When Patrick was 2, his father put him in a high chair next to the piano and started to teach him how to stroke the keys. By 5, he was playing children's songs and taking lessons from a blind piano teacher. ''We saw eye to eye on a lot of things,'' Patrick said, laughing.

The young man has a dry sense of humor to boot! :-)
