Brother takes little sister to father-daughter dance after dad stands her up twice
(Meredith) – An 11-year-old Georgia boy stepped in to take his little sister to a father-daughter dance after her dad failed to show, and the thoughtful gesture is warming hearts across the country.
Trelysia Hamerter said her 7-year-old daughter, Skylar, was heartbroken after learning her father was not coming to the dance at her school in Atlanta for the second year in a row.
“She cried because she had her heart set on going,” Hamerter wrote in a Facebook post on Feb. 29.
“I felt so bad because there was nothing I could do because I’m not a male,” she added.
That’s when Skylar’s big brother, Christian, stepped in and offered to take her.
“He wanted his sister to know that she deserves a man keeping his word and making her feel special,” said Hamerter. “Y’all, I literally cried.”
She ended the post by saying: “Just know that I’m raising someone a GREAT HUSBAND one day.”
The viral Facebook post has garnered more than 100,000 reactions and 51,000 shares.
