Patrick Hughes is somewhat of a celebrity in our neck of the woods. I've seen him on local morning television many times. Check out this YouTube video to meet Patrick and his wonderful father.
You WILL have tears in your eyes while watching that video.
Extreme Makeover Home Edition has chosen Patrick's family for a makeover. They begin tearing down the old house tomorrow and plan to have the new one up by next Wednesday. A friend of mine told me about it yesterday. She wants to go over and watch one day, and I may go with her.
Check out both links. You'll really appreciate the story. I especially admire Patrick's dad. Any dad who would march along with his child in a university marching band so his child doesn't have to miss out is a hero in my book.

I missed my chance to see them in action when they redid a house in Hendersonville after the tornado. I can barely watch that show for all the crying I end up doing!

I watched this video from your link and it just makes me want to cheer! They are so worthy to get the Home Makeover. I did miss watching the show that night but I am truly, truly happy that such a deserving family got this. That young man is born with great gifts to give the world. MUSIC!

You were so right that I would have ters in my eyes. What a wonderful young man Patrick is. He is an ispiration to all. His parents have guided him well by encouraging his talents. What a joy he must be to all who know him. He certainly made my day today.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Its a shame I couldn't get to see the makeover as I live in England but I'm sure it was exceptional.
Hugs
