Sometimes humanity can be amazing, and sometimes we can learn the greatest lessons of grace and composure from the least likely source.
Eight-year-old Elizabeth Hughes was invited to sing The Star Spangled Banner at the Norfolk Admirals [hockey] game, last Friday night.
Standing demurely at a corner of the ice, her deceptively large and beautiful voice sang the strains of one the most difficult songs a singer can attempt.
She gets to "bombs bursting in air, gave proof. . . . "
Her microphone shuts down.
Any eight-year-old would crumble, and a crowd of more boorish sports fans would have become impatient and (let's face it) unkind.
Watch what happens:
It's OK to get misty-eyed.
