If you have a sibling, you learn how to share, communicate, and solve misunderstandings with each other.

Sometimes, you don’t even want to hug, bond, or even be in the same room with your siblings. Funny, but we have our ways of how we show our love for them.

If they are in trouble, we would be the ones to fight for them, be there to support them, and have their backs until they’re old.

Sometimes, though time is stolen.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable.

Chuck and his family lived the usual life. It had challenges, happy memories, misunderstandings, and the usual family stuff that we all have.

Sadly, Chuck and his family experienced a tragedy that took the life of his sister, who was just 19 years old.

This sudden death left an empty spot in their hearts forever. Chuck’s sister soon became a loving memory, and they all moved on.

Kenzie, Chuck’s daughter, didn’t have the chance to meet her aunt, but she knew what happened.

So when she came of age, she thought of a way to honor her aunt.

The young lady decided not to buy a gown for her prom night.

Instead, she wore her aunt’s gown.

It was also her way of honoring her aunt, even though they never met.

The twist was that Kenzie’s dad didn’t know about this idea. Kenzie only told her grandmother about it, and they decided to surprise Chuck.

Then came the prom night, and Kenzie was ready and glammed up, but before she went out with her friends, she asked her father to step outside and meet her.

She told her dad she wanted to say goodbye before she left.

Then the beautiful moment came.

The unsuspecting father came outside, and he was smiling. Kenzie then asked her father if the dress was familiar to him.

He stopped walking, realizing that the dress belonged to his deceased sister.

The white gown was accentuated with pink satin.

It looked so beautiful and timeless.

Kenzie looked so beautiful in her gown, and Chuck saw that. He cried as he looked at his daughter and also remembered his sister in the same gown years ago.

The beautiful event was recorded by Kenzie’s mom, who also knew about the surprise.

“I got a corset put in it so it fits,” Kenzie told her dad.

Chuck just looked at his daughter for a while, looking at her and the gown. Then they embraced, and still, you could see that Chuck wanted to cry about the whole surprise.

After all these years, the memory of his sister was still there.

“Literally was trying to hide this from you for so long,” said Kenzie, to which her dad replied, “That makes me happy.”
