A 4-year-old leukemia patient got the pretend wedding of her dreams to her favorite male nurse, thanks to the caring staff at Melodies Center for Childhood Cancers at Albany Medical Center in New York.

Matt Hickling and Abby have always had a great connection since the beginning of her diagnosis, reports the girl's family on their FB community, Amazing Abby.

"I know the people at the Melodies Center… their creativity and thoughtfulness but never expected all of this."

Abby's response to the trail of rose pedals, wedding song, and matching ring pops for their fingers… "This is the best day ever!"

 

"We are both in awe from today's visit and smiling ear to ear."
