Feeling emotional today.  And then Ryan texted me to tell me he did it!  He sang(is that proper grammar?) in his exploring music class.  They were given a song at the beginning of the the quarter to learn and sing, solo, at the end of the quarter.  He has been nervous, very nervous.  Singing in public, especially alone, is not something this family does :)  Anyway, while I think it is great, amazing, fantastic that he did it, the fact that he texted me about it is what really brought a tear to my eye.
