Quarterback Fulfills 4th Grade Promise to Take Girl with Down Syndrome to Prom
10 years ago, Ben promised he'd take her to prom. Last week, he made good on his word and brought the 17-year-old pal, who has Down Syndrome, as his date.
80-year-old James Drain never got to go to his high school prom. He never even wore a tuxedo in his eight decades of life.
This week, he got to do both.
His granddaughter, Joy Webb, got special permission from her Alabama high school administration to take "Poppa" to the prom as her date, and the two had what we can only imagine to be the time of their lives.
Ms. Webb said that Drain has brought "nothing but joy to her family" and was grateful for the opportunity to do something extra special for him.
Sounds like joy all around.
