As a father I'm extremely proud of my daughters. They've both excelled in ways that just amaze me. I don't post a whole lot here anymore, but those of you that have been on RTH a few years may remember some of my earlier ramblings lol.
Most recently something presented itself that I just have to share with y'all.
My younger daughter Emily was asked to sing the National Anthem at the high school girls' state basketball championship for her school. The girls' team made it to state this year for the 1st time in 30 yrs. Of course Emily is very honored & excited to support her school and friends. What a way to start the home stretch of her senior year!
If you'd like to see her sing, here's a video made from a local game earlier this season.
Thanks for letting me toot my horn. Nate

Awesome! Beautifully sung and a lovely young lady. Kudos for raising a good 'un! Thanks Cap'n! I've raised 2 good 'uns. Emily's big sis Abigail is studying Nuclear Medical Technology in college. She's 20 & I'm also extremely proud of the beautiful, talented & kind hearted young lady she's become!

Me too, Pat! Patriotic songs always get to me especially when they are done so well by a young person. NDK you have every reason to be proud. She did a terrific job and she is a beautiful young lady.

Thank you everyone. Emily also said thank you for all the kind words!
If anyone is interested, here's Emily singing at the state tournament game today. Unfortunately our girls lost, so she won't be singing tomorrow.

Amazing! You have a super star, not in-the-making, but unveiling before your eyes.
So very very good, skilled and confidant to be singing 'sans musique'.
