A father fighting terminal cancer had one wish he always wanted to fulfill.

Willie Shelton, a U.S. Army veteran from, Ohio is the father of seven daughters with his wife Cheryl. His wife said he always talked about achieving his one hope.

“The one constant was always, ‘I want to see my girls grow up, and I want to walk them down the aisle,’” Cheryl told Fox8.

But the family realized it was unlikely the veteran would be able to accomplish his dream normally, so they came up with a plan to make his dream a reality.
