Delores Dennison was never asked to prom. That\u2019s because she left high school in West Virginia before graduating or the dance.<\/p>\n
But thanks to her great-grandson, her prom dreams finally came true at the ripe age of 89.
\n19-year-old Austin Dennison asked his great-grandmother to be his date to his prom. She said yes!OURCE:YOUTUBE \u2013 ABC NEWS<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked Grandma if she would be my date to the prom and she said that she would be honored,\u201d the high school football player told Times Bulletin. \u201cI told her that it would be my privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delores had recently suffered a heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n
She promised her great-grandson that she would go to prom with him if she was well enough by the time the big day came around.<\/p>\n
Thankfully Delores was feeling better.
\nSo, she got to go all out for her prom. She went out and got herself a new dress and Austin even got her a pearl necklace to go with her outfit.<\/p>\n
The evening began with Austin serenading his great-grandma with a song, \u201cIris\u201d by the Goo Good Dolls.<\/p>\n
Then they headed out to dinner at one of Delores\u2019 favorite restaurants, Bob Evans.
\nNext, they took some photos before heading off to the dance.<\/p>\n
Once at the dance, they got to boogie down to a song that Dolores\u2019 husband Edward sang to her when he was alive, Frank Sinatra\u2019s \u201cDelores.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was even a little competition on the dance floor.
\nOne of Austin\u2019s friends asked if he could cut in and dance with Delores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
