“We brought tears to many people’s eyes,” said Dakota Wollan, a high school senior from Watford City, North Dakota.

At the suggestion of his father, Dakota made the choice to ask Madeline Miller, his 92-year-old great-grandma, to his senior prom. And the way that he asked her was so sweet! 

“I have this old truck she gave me. It’s a 1985 ford she handed down to me and I got it running again. So, I took that truck and made a sign,” Dakota explained. The sign read, “Can I take you to prom in this old truck?”

“I was just wondering why he would want a 92-year-old going to prom with him when there are so many young girls in the school,” his great-grandmother said.

“If she would have said no, I wouldn’t have gone, so thanks to her I got to make a memory for my last prom and her first prom,” shared Dakota.

Senior Prom Night Is Extra Special When Teen Takes His Great-Grandma

Madeline Miller had never been to prom before, because she only made it through a year and a half of high school. When she was a teenager, her father got sick. And she had to drop out of school to help him out on their farm.

But being able to go to prom with her great-grandson was such a special moment. “Walking beside my great grandson, listening to this music as we walked and people clapping and hollering…I couldn’t believe I was out there,” said Madeline.

“We walked out on the floor, and everyone just went wild,” Dakota recalled.

A willing heart sets forth a fire to see and experience Jesus, and as we know, God will use any willingness directed toward Him to grab a child of God's attention. He will use His people and all His creation to draw us nearer to Himself.
