An Idaho teen took his mother to prom last month, worried that the terminally-ill woman wouldn’t live to see him at his wedding. 

Dylan Huffaker’s mother, Terry, was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer in February, and is expected to have between 9 and 20 months left to live. 

With not much time left, Dylan took his mother to the Canyon Ridge High School prom on April 30th. 

“That was the most beautiful I think I’ve ever seen her,” Dylan told ABC News. “I thought about it and I can look back after years and years and remember who I went to prom with. I'll know it was someone I loved who meant something to me.”
