While no dad wants to see their little girl to grow up and not need them as much anymore, many often dream of the day they get to walk their daughter down the aisle on her wedding day.
55-year-old Chris Palmer had looked forward to that special moment since his precious daughter Heather was born. However, in June 2012, doctors discovered Palmer had an aggressive form of cancer, and although he beat the cancer, he was left paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
“When I lay in hospital after the operation, one of the first things I thought about was my daughter’s wedding and how I wasn’t going to be able to walk her down the aisle,” Palmer said.
28-year-old Heather knew how much her dad wanted to be able to walk her down the aisle, and while planning her wedding a year ago, she found a company called Rex Bionics, which helps disabled people walk with state of the art robotic walking suits.
Heather contacted the company, and they agreed to lend her father the more than $130,000 suit as well as give him lessons before the big day.
And when Palmer made his way down the aisle on his own two feet, there was understandably not a dry eye in the room. “It is really overwhelming that my dad is able to walk me down the aisle,” Heather said.
“It’s wonderful I can do this – it’s fulfilling something that dads do,” Palmer said.
