Letters to Lily: Utah football player writes his own story

Utah football » A Utah football player’s relationship with his daughter is the one he writes.

That’s his dream; his goals are simpler.

"All I know is that I want Lily to grow up one day and to know that her father was a somebody," he said. "That if she does want to look for me or research who I am, she’ll know that I was someone great — that I did great things in the community, in the classroom, for other people. Football. If I do make it, she’ll understand who I am."

Unless someone asks, Nate keeps these feelings tucked away. Like the black notebook, they live in a secret place, and only he knows what’s inside.

One day, if Lily asks, he will show her.
