Everyone should watch a video like this once in a while
Today's blog post really has nothing to do with technology. I just feel compelled to write about it.
Yesterday I attended a father/son breakfast at my church with my two sons. The keynote speaker at the breakfast was Patrick Henry Hughes. If you don't know who Patrick is, please set aside six and a half minutes of your day and dedicate it to watching the video below. It just may change your life.
As my father said to me after I shared this video with him, "Everyone should watch a video like this once in a while. It reminds you what's important in life."
I hope you enjoy the video.

What a great video and inspiring story! As a person with disabilities (and a parent) it touched me on many levels. Life is about the journey not simply the destination ... and what we do with what we are given determines how happy or fulfilled we are on that journey.
Thanks for sharing this ... Colleen

There’s nothing I could say that would really add to what Patrick Henry Hughes says, both by his words and how he lives his life. Of course, his parents must be unbelievable people, too. They show a love that transcends so much. I couldn’t keep my eyes dry when I watched it.

Patrick & his family also received recognition, and an awesome blessing, via an ABC Home Makeover home a while back. He is truly unforgettable.

Sandra - He mentioned the Home Makeover show during his presentation. Interesting story on how fate led to him being selected.
