Ben Moser and Mary Lapkowicz were fourth-grade classmates when he promised her he'd take her to prom. And on May 8, seven years later, he did just that.Read more here.
... Mary has Down syndrome, and Ben is the quarterback of his high school's football team in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
"Watching Ben and Mary in 4th grade always made me smile," their teacher, Tracey Spogli, told TODAY. "Ben was always so protective of Mary and genuinely cared for her, and it was evident in his actions and words. He would keep an eye on her, just wanting her to be happy and involved in our classroom activities."
Ben's mother, Linda Moser, expressed her great pride and happiness in a Facebook post.
"Today was probably the proudest I have ever been of my son in his lifetime to date!" she wrote. "He has grown into a man with a big heart, a deep sense of putting others first, and most of all making people feel special and loved."
