The best part, for me, of the anecdote, was Harry admitting that she is exhausted (as many of us obsereved), but that he was confident that his daughter could handle it, a trooper,...that she was born for this.
Harry wasn't and has not been the "clingy stage father type", the "control freak/he knows best for his daughter father type", nor the "grab some of your child's spotlight" fame by proxy father type.
Throughout this journey, Harry has shown that he has the confidence to let Haley make her own way, yet he and Patti have always been on the sideline whenever their little girl needs some advice or support...
