A high school freshman was praised for taking his 10-year-old sister who has terminal cancer to his first formal dance.

A.J. Spader, the freshman, took his sister, Rebekah Spader, to the dance. The South Dakota girl was diagnosed with the terminal illness about four years ago.

It really made my mama-heart happy to know that we've raised a son that would do something so selfless.
