Big Brother Saves the Day by Stepping In for Dad at Father-Daughter Dance

One loving big brother saved the day by stepping in for Dad at a father-daughter dance.

Every parent knows that siblings tend to fight. Whether that’s an argument or a physical altercation, siblings often don't see eye to eye, especially when they are little. Not only that, but the frequency of sibling disagreements is alarmingly high. Everything can quickly result in screaming, fighting and tears.

Luckily for parents, as children grow and mature, those fights seem less frequent, and the volume of those fights drops considerably. Sure, they will still not agree on every issue or subject, but there isn’t nearly as much yelling or screaming.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a big brother who wasn’t annoyed, irritated or even upset with his little sister. Instead, this big brother stepped in to save the day and agreed to participate in a father-daughter dance when their father couldn’t attend. He showed up in a big way for his little sister.

As the children’s mother explains, her daughter attends a dance studio that puts on an annual father-daughter dance. Well, the children’s father was out of town for work and unable to take his little girl. The girl was upset about having to miss out on the dance.

But the dance studio came up with an idea. They knew she had an older brother and said he was welcome to participate in the dance with his little sister.

Surprisingly to their mother, Micah, the girl’s older brother, was willing to do it.

“I know she was looking forward to it,” he said. “So, I thought, ‘Why not?’”

Mom was immensely touched by Micah’s display of kindness and love for his little sister.

“It was just so sweet to see them,” she said. “I think, like, by the end of it, when he lifted her up, I was just, like, ‘Aw.’ It just totally wrecked my heart in the best way. I don’t know if he realized what an impact, like, that is to show up for her, but that is something she’ll hold onto forever.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
