Brother takes sister to father-daughter dance after dad fails to show up

When Skylar Hamerter’s father failed to show up to take her to her daddy-daughter dance, her brother Christian quickly came to her rescue. In a viral Facebook post, the duo’s mother Trelysia expressed pride and gratitude for her selfless son. In an interview with Today, Trelysia explained that 7-year-old Skylar really wanted to show her dad off to everyone at the dance. "This is the [second] year that my daughter’s father stood her up for the daddy/daughter dance. She cried because she had her heart set on going," she wrote. Though Trelysia couldn’t get Skylar’s dad to accompany her to the dance, she is beyond grateful for her 11-year-old son for stepping up to the plate
