Teen’s Boyfriend Passes Away in Tragic Car Accident - Then, His Father Asks Her to Prom

After his son tragically passed away, a loving father stepped into his shoes.

If there is one thing most of us can agree on, it is that parents should never bury their children. Whenever young people do pass away tragically, it is important to do whatever we can to carry on their legacy and honor their short lives. One grieving father in Pennsylvania did just that in a sweet and unexpected way. 

19-year-old Carter Brown was driving to his home in Pennsylvania from Indiana State University to surprise his girlfriend, Kaylee Suders. Tragically, while on his romantic journey, he hit another car head on and died on impact.

Carter, who was studying Culinary Arts in university, was planning to take his girlfriend to prom in the days following his death. After his passing, Kaylee decided she would no longer go to prom, as she felt she couldn’t face it without Carter. Not wanting her to miss such an important high school milestone, Carter’s father stepped in.

Carter’s father, Robert Brown, decided that he would take Kaylee to the prom. He knew that if he were alive, Carter would never want his beloved girlfriend to miss such an important day. Robert called Kaylee’s school, explained the upsetting circumstances, and confirmed that he could come as her date.

When he finally let Kaylee in on his idea, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Robert’s wife, Kelly, shared the event on Facebook, gushing with pride over her husband’s kind actions.

"I think that my husband is incredible. He is just a loving and giving human. He’s truly amazing, he is a gift. I know that Carter was in college, he wasn’t super excited about going to a high school prom, but he was excited about doing that for Kaylee … so Rob didn’t like the idea of Kaylee not getting that," Kelly said.

Kelly and Robert Brown had lost another child before Carter passed away. When their older son Chris was 23, he passed away from a drug overdose. Of their four boys, two had passed, but Kelly and Robert were still in good spirits.

The two grieving parents were so thoughtful and selfless that they were able to see past their hardships and continue doing things for other people -- an example we should all seek to follow!

Snoop Dogg is an icon of positivity and peace, but that wasn't always the case. After the "Drop It Like It's Hot" gangster rapper faced felony charges and 3-year prison sentence he decided to make a change. Slowly but surely, Snoop Dogg traded in the "guns, drugs, and thugs" lifestyle for cannabis and a lucrative business partnership with Martha Stewart. But decades later it seems his past is coming back to haunt him. In a shocking interview, Jada Pinkett-Smith confronts Snoop about Tupac’s tragic death. She asks the questions no one dared ask: Why did Snoop and Tupac have a falling out? Did Snoop betray Tupac to save himself?

Flying first-class is a luxury most of us will never get to experience. So when a woman's boyfriend surprised her with a ticket on a long-haul flight she was thrilled.

Legroom for days, next-level service, snuggling under a complimentary duvet with a down pillow on your LIE-FLAT seat, AND sipping champagne? Seriously, what's not to love?

Needless to say, it didn't disappoint. What did disappoint, however, was a mother and plane staff asking the woman to switch seats with a child in ECONOMY shortly before take-off. She politely declined. But now she's wondering, AITAH? The internet has thoughts.
