This Girl Surprised Her Prom Date By Walking For First Time In Months

It's a seriously beautiful moment

If this video of a teen surprising her prom date by walking for the first time in 10 months doesn’t make you well up, we don’t know what will.

In the clip, Morgan (@aeonianlife) can be seen standing in her hallway, waiting for her prom date to arrive at the door. When the front door opens, her date looks at her for a moment before realising that she’s standing up and walking unaided - something she hasn’t been able to do for 10 months.

He jumps back with surprise, before rushing forward to hug her.

Luckily for us, the tender moment was captured on camera and Morgan shared the clip on 28 April, the day after her prom, where it swiftly went viral receiving a staggering 11 million views.

Morgan’s tweet was also made into a Twitter moment and there are calls for her to appear on The Ellen Show.

Her feat of strength wasn’t the only surprise of the evening as she was later crowned Prom Queen by her classmates.

Needless to say there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Or any house, for that matter.
