In the Denver Post, I read about a prom that was put on for sick teenagers who were not able to make their prom. It was a dream for many of the patients. One particular story of a patient named Miles Person stood out the most. Person has brain cancer and his doctor says he has at most four months to live. He doesn't want to skydive or travel the world, the two things he wants is to spend time with his family,and his girlfriend who recovered from bone cancer. Person and his date danced the night away. Person said "it was a prom to live for".
This story really touched me. I thought it was great thing to give these kids a chance to go to a prom. Its a memory everyone should have.

That's really neat that a hospital would take more time out of their schedule to put something on like this for their patients. I agree, prom is a fun memory everyone should live at least once in their life.
ReplyDeleteI thought that this story was fabulous. What a great way to make the patients feel "normal".
ReplyDeleteAww that's such a good idea! It reminds me of the Rascal Flatts song "skin" and i love that song!
