Music of Opportune and the sound of potential!
Welcome back!
A baby was born without vision, his arms and legs can never be straighten. This child will never be able to walk.
As this child grows to be 9 months old, he begins to play the piano. At the age of 2 this little boy would take request for songs. This child is Patrick Henry Hughes.
Patrick Henry Hughes is an inspiration to us all. His story reminds us that none of us have anything to complain about.
When Patrick’s parents discovered his amazing gift in music, his father John said, “Ok, we are not going to playing baseball, but we are going to play music together. Let’s see how far we can run with this!”
By the time Patrick got to the University of Louisville, the band director told Patrick that he wants Patrick to play in the School Marching Band. Patrick said, “How am I suppose to MARCH?” His father John said, “If the Band Director is passionate about it, and Patrick wants to do, by golly I Will Give It My All…” So that was it, they decided that Patrick would play and John would push Patrick’s wheel chair. The father and son team became a part of the Louisville Marching Banding.
Patrick said, “God made me blind and unable to walk, BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability in the music gifts that I have, and great opportune to meet new people.” When people ask Patrick about his disability, Patrick would say, “Not Disability, More Ability!” Each one of us have the Ability, Opportune and Potenital inside us. All we have to do is to put it into action.
Today, Patrick Henry Hughes has his own music CD and his Book title “I Am Potential”. He also travels around the country to perform and give Keynote speeches.

Hi Giovanna,
This was a beautiful post. The video was very well done, and I was touched at the love the Hughes had for their little boy that allowed him to accept himself for who he was and blossom with whatever talent he had. Thank you for this heart-warming story.

What an amazing story!
I wish more people would look at the gift that life is and stop bitching and moaning they were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
Great post, great blog!
Keep up the good work.
PS - non action is better than action!
Hi Giovanna,
I’m in near tears after watching Patrick’s story and the dedication of his family, especially his father. Their story is trulying inspirational and extremely touching because it hits home.
Despite what doctors may say about Mia’s challenges, she’s proved to be one tough cookie! She will soon find her voice and sing her beautiful song for all of us.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story.
Many Blessings….

Hi Hugo & Roxanne
I thought of you when I did this post
Remember a while back we spoke on the phone, and we said Mia is going to sing!? I still believe and I know you do as well. A few years from now you will have your own video about Mia’s story and with Mia singing on the video.
