High-school senior takes his 92-year-old great-grandma to prom and they steal the show

He felt it would be an honor and unforgettable night for them both to take his beloved great grandma!

And, after thinking for a moment, he knew that this was the best idea ever.

So, he decided to ask his grandma with a proper promposal.
“I have this old truck she gave me, it’s a 1985 ford she handed down to me and I got it running again. So, I took that truck and made a sign,” he told KFYR-TV.

When the 92-year-old woman saw the sign, she was shocked.

She couldn’t find a reason why a young man would want to spend such a special night with an elderly lady.

“I was just wondering why he would want a 92-year-old going to prom with him when there are so many young girls in the school,” Madeline Miller, Wollan’s great-grandma said.

But she said “yes”. After all, Dakota had made it clear that if she didn’t go, he wouldn’t go either. So, she really didn’t have an option.
As the woman told the news outlet, she had never been to prom before.

In fact, she didn’t even remember if there was such a thing back at her time.

Miller explained that she only attended high-school for one year and a half, because her father got sick and she had to help on the farm.
So, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find out what this prom thing is all about.

Eventually, the big day came and the pair was ready to have the time of their lives.

When they entered the hall, they caught everyone’s attention right away.
Boys and girls couldn’t help looking at them and cheering for them.

“Walking beside my great grandson, listening to this music as we walked and people clapping and hollering,” Miller recalled of the night.

As her great-grandson added, the rest of the students were excited to see them.

“We walked out on the floor, and everyone just went wild,” Wallon said.
The pair’s dance stole the show and it certainly brought tears to many eyes.

My Husband Spent $3,150 on His Family’s Gifts on Family Day – What He Got Me and My Family Left Me Stunned === I always knew Family Day brought surprises, but this year’s gift-giving had more twists than a soap opera. As the presents piled up, nobody knew I had a lesson wrapped up that would make even the smartest shoppers rethink their choices. Grab your gift receipts—this family gathering is one you won’t forget. Hi, Tina here. Get ready, because I’ve got a wild story about Family Day, gifts, and a big lesson in appreciation. I’m 38, married to a guy I thought was pretty decent, and we have this tradition where our families get together once a year to celebrate and swap presents. It’s like Christmas, but without the tree and double the drama. Here’s the deal: we keep our money separate, like two teens who can’t share a milkshake. So gift shopping is a solo job. Every year, we pick our own gifts for everyone; it keeps things peaceful and surprising, or so we thought. I love surprises, but last week, I found one that made me question how decent my guy really was. While cleaning out the closet—because who doesn’t love diving into that mess—I found a list. Not just any list. It was like finding a cheat sheet to how much your partner values you, or doesn’t. Joel’s side of the list was like he won the lottery: “My parents – Grill – $1500, Brother – Fishing Gear – $700, Sister-in-law – Bag – $800.” Generous, right? But here’s the kicker. For my folks? A $75 utensil set. I mean, who doesn’t want to stir soup with disappointment? And for me, the big prize—a scribbled “Something from Target” capped at $55. Seriously, a mystery Target gift? I was half expecting socks. Stick around, because this Family Day was about to get a reality check, courtesy of me, armed with a gift receipt and a ton of sarcasm. Finding that list was like walking into a comedy where I’m the punchline. My first thought? Maybe Joel’s playing a weird game of ‘Guess Tina’s Gift!’ But no, this was real, not a sitcom. The difference hit me harder than a Monday morning coffee crash. There I was, in our closet, holding a paper that priced my worth in Target dollars. I love a good deal, but this? This was cheap, especially next to the nearly two grand he dropped on a grill for his dad. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so I did both—a weird snort-cry. As I wiped my laugh-tears, a sly plan started forming. I’d get him that fancy watch I’d been saving for months to surprise him with. But now? It’d be the star of my lesson on ‘How to Value Your Wife 101.’ The days before Family Day were all about acting cool while secretly scheming. I smiled through dinners, kissed Joel goodnight, and planned a teachable moment that could make reality TV jealous. I’m no playwright, but the drama I was about to unleash could win an award—or at least a medal in passive-aggressive arts. I went on as usual, wrapping gifts with extra glitter and a pinch of spite. Every ribbon I curled reminded me this Family Day would be unforgettable—a lesson in fairness, wrapped in shiny paper with a side of truth. Family Day started bright and early, and I acted like it was just another fun gathering. If there’s an award for looking calm while fuming, I’d win it. Everyone was excited, chatting away, clueless about the drama I’d wrapped up. The gift exchange began smoothly. I handed out my carefully picked presents, watching everyone light up—one thoughtful gift at a time. From artisan coffee for the caffeine lovers to first-edition books for the family bookworm, my gifts were a hit. It felt like leading a band of joy—unlike Joel’s lazy shopping trip. Then came the big moment. Joel, clueless as ever, was practically bouncing for his turn. I saved his gift for last, building suspense like a horror movie climax. The room went quiet as I handed him a small, neatly wrapped box. You could hear a pin drop—or Joel’s expectations crashing. He tore into it like a kid expecting candy, only to find broccoli. Inside, no luxe watch, just a plain mirror. Attached was my note, in my best handwriting (thanks, online tutorials): “Think about the value you put on those who love you. This mirror shows the effort you put into my gift. May it help you see the true worth of those around you.” The silence was heavy. Joel read the note, his face a mix of confusion and realization. The room was so quiet you could hear everyone’s diets crumbling. But I wasn’t done. I turned to my family like a magician pulling off a trick and gave my parents a set of keys. “I didn’t spend thousands, but I saved for years (plus the watch money) to get you this car you really need,” I told them. My family’s cheers could’ve powered a small town. The contrast was clear as day. My thoughtful gifts versus Joel’s last-minute “whatever” approach. It was like comparing a home-cooked meal to fast food—one satisfies, the other just fills you up. After the mirror moment, the air was thicker than my aunt’s fruitcake. Joel, red-faced and stumbling over words, looked like he was trying to dig out of a hole with a spoon. … (continue reading in the 1st comment)
