Awesome Father & Musical Son The video is 6 and a half minutes long.  You can watch a minute of it or six, but this wonderful young man will put you in a better frame of mind. And what an awesome father!










Love, Chatty

 Remember that the weekends I get behind, and then I do spend the week catching up! So as usual please bare with me.

How beautiful! I am definitely sending this on to my daughter, the musician. But, Sandie, ummm... you're asking a little bit too much of me. I'm willing to bear with you, forever if need be, but bare?? Sorry, not gonna happen!

(Again, sorry, but I couldn't help myself! :) )

I defy anyone to watch less than every second of this. What a story. That young man and his parents are amazing - his story is a gift and his influence must be felt throughout the university he attends.

Please don't apologize.. Truly, we ALL do understand --at least those of us who have a life outside of blogging... ha

Great video... Made me cry. There's just no greater love than that father has for his son. AWESOME...

Thanks so much. I shared it on my Facebook page.

You got me crying again, Sandie! My heart is overflowing with love and admiration.

People can learn so MUCH from this wonderful family and brave young man.

This is one of the most heartwarming stories I've ever read. I am always a bit convicted when I see other people who have overcome tremendous difficulties, and still praise God. How I need to fight against my grumbling heart...

Thanks for sharing this.

GOD BLESS!

This is such an eye opening post. Love it. I am emailing this to my son who is a father of three and also to my other son who is a councilor. I will email this to my daughter who has a big compassion for people like Patrick.

I had seen this before a while back but watched it all again. As amazing as this young man is, his father is even more so. What an inspirational duo.

Debbie said...

This is just absolutely AWESOME. I'm overcome with the inspiration of it. What a perfect picture of God the father and exactly the way he helps his children with self-sacrifice and love. And what a huge, huge lesson to all of us.
