'OH SAY CAN YOU SEE...'

Our family attended a football game last night between our town and a town a couple of hours away. We were there to support my daughter in the band. She’s doing what she loves and we’re there for her.

Last night, before the game when it was time for the National Anthem, a blind child from the Intermediate School in that town was taken out to the middle of the field to sing the song. And with the voice of a little angel….he started singing.

He sang the song very well…but the microphone started cutting out during the song.  The first time, it came back on immediately. But the next time it was a longer pause. So IMMEDIATELY, the crowd picked up the volume to fill in the gap. It was awesome.

That continued throughout the song….the crowd singing and getting louder to fill in the parts that were missing.  I saw a few of the football players wiping their eyes afterwards...glad I wasn't the only one.

Like I said, he did an awesome job….even without the help of the crowd….however, it was nice to know they were there for him, in the times that they were needed.

Lesson learned. Thanks for letting me be in attendance, Coco.   Love you, Mom
