Herndon, Va. - A Fairfax County teenager had a prom night
to remember thanks to her older brother.
Kyle Hammersley, 22, took his younger sister, Emma
Hammersley, who has Down syndrome, to the dance at Herndon High School last
weekend.
“Over the years a mom always wants to see her daughter
going to a fancy dance,” said mother Cathy Hammersley.
Cathy wanted her daughter to feel like a princess, so she
ordered 19-year-old Emma her first long dress and made sure hair, nails, makeup
and the corsage were taken care of.
At the dance, Kyle sent his mother text messages, including
one to tell her that someone asked Emma to dance.
"I'm so proud of my son. Some guys may feel funny
about going back to a prom when they're 22 years old, but he didn't,"
Cathy said.
