Daddy's tears

Ryland made her Daddy so proud today it brought tears to his eyes.  This is how it happened.

We were in the van doing errands in town as a family and already regretting that decision, again.

The song "Devil went down to Georgia" is playing and Ryland is singing along.  We hear her singing and exchange a glance impressed that she knows more than just the chorus.  Actually she knew all words.

I look over and notice Daddy has tears in his eyes and a grin from ear to ear.

"I'm so proud!"  he tells me.

Then we laugh until tears are running down both of our cheeks.
