The Patrick Hughes Family
It seems that every family gets their fair share of obstacles to overcome.
But what we sometimes don’t realize is that every obstacle comes with the seeds of equal or greater opportunity.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with discouraging disabilities, but instead of being defeated, Patrick and his family choose to focus on his abilities.
Together, they are accomplishing many miracles.
As parents, we too can help our children accomplish great things in spite of the obstacles they face. And in the process, we and our children can grow in love, courage, persistence, and other important attributes. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!
