Most teenage boys would be mortified if their mother showed up at their senior prom while they were having fun with friends and dancing the night away with their dates, however, mom was the only person one Idaho teen dreamed of having by his side as he went to prom.
After one Twin Falls mom, Kerry Huffaker, was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer this past February, she was given just 20 months to live. Despite the devastating prognosis, Kerry tried her best to focus on the present instead of her uncertain future, but couldn’t help think about how she’d never get to see her son Dylan get married.
“I try not to focus too much on the future,” Kerry said. “I try to live today as best as I can, but [thought], ‘Who’s going to dance with my son when the mom is supposed to dance with the groom at his wedding day?'”
While there was no way 17-year-old Dylan could make his mom better, he figured they could share a special dance together at his prom.”I was taken by surprise, that’s for sure,” Kerry said after her son surprised her while she was getting radiation treatment with a box of donuts that had a message saying ‘will you go to prom with me’ written in icing .
“My reaction was, ‘You don’t want to go to prom with your old, bald mom. You’ll be embarrassed.’ And he said,’No I won’t. I’ll have the prettiest date there.'”
On prom night, Dylan was stunned when he saw his mom all dressed up in a black gown. “That was the most beautiful I think I’ve ever seen her,” Dylan said. “I thought about it and I can look back after years and years and remember who I went to prom with. I’ll know it was someone I loved who meant something to me.”
“[The D.J.] cleared the dance floor and let us dance the first half, just me and my mom,” Dylan said. “I put her through 17 years of hard times, so it’s worth it to take her to prom. I love that my mom is as caring as she is. No matter what you’re going through, she’s willing to help — no matter what hard times she’s facing.”
