Talk about heartwarming. This one makes your chest sweat. And it reminded me of several important things:
1. Kids just want to be "normal." Many teenagers want to go to their school dances, even if they can't "cut the rug" like the rest of the gang. They want someone to ask them on a date, or accept their invitation. They just want to participate and make special memories.
2. Siblings of kids with special needs "get it." JT Thomas understood Joslyn Lovell before they even shared a conversation. He has watched his brother grow up and struggle. He has empathy and a different perspective. He is a better person for it.
3. There is good news in this world, we just have to look harder for it. Most of the news stories surrounding this year's prom season centered around drinking and driving. This one got buried, but it's worth digging deeper to have your heart warmed.
