While no dad wants to see his little girl grow up and stop needing him, there are certain moments every dad dreams of witnessing like prom night, college graduation, and eventually the wedding day.
Those were the moments Officer Charlie Kondek always dreamed of seeing as his daughter Aleena grew up, but he would never get to see those precious milestones as he was shot and killed in 2014 while responding to a routine noise complaint call.
Aleena was devastated by her dad’s passing, and was especially sad two years later when her prom night approached because she knew her dad wasn’t going to get to see her all dressed up in her gown.
Aleena’s mom, Teresa Kondek, knew what was bothering her daughter, so she secretly planned for her husband’s fellow officers and police family to surprise Aleena when she got dropped off at prom.
“It’s our responsibility and our honor to stand in for Charlie. Charlie would be here and he’s not able to be here. So we want to be here for Charlie and for Aleena,” Maj. Jeff Young said.
The minute Aleena stepped off the bus at prom, she saw her police family, and knew her dad was watching down on them all at that moment. “They always say, ‘never forgotten,’ and I totally believe that. They’re always texting me, ‘how are you doing?’ and they step in with things that my dad did, and they’re amazing. I love each and every one of them,” she said.
