A short, first-person YouTube monologue by Russ Lowry in which he tells his children he is proud of them. He highlights individual challenges and achievements: Casey’s persistence despite dyslexia and repeated insurance tests; Riley’s baseball setbacks, COVID disruption, leveraging athletics and mentorship (Coach Cobble at OC Sydney) to earn a master’s degree and a teaching position; and Jack’s decision to pursue a career in HVAC rather than college partying. The tone is encouraging and proud, with brief humor about AI and the future of certain careers.
