Woman Suffering From MS Has Emotional Dance At Son’s Wedding

If you’ve ever been to a wedding, you know that there are many traditions in place that almost every couple participates in. One of the most touching moments throughout the entire day is often the mother-son dance that occurs in most weddings. It’s a symbolic moment that is filled with happiness and love in which a mother gives her blessing for her child to start his own life and family.

It often means a lot to both the mother and son, but for one woman, the moment meant even more to her than you would expect.

Amy Winn has been suffering from chronic health issues for the past two decades. At age 31, she was unfortunately diagnosed with MS, also known as multiple sclerosis.

But what exactly is MS? MS is a degenerative autoimmune condition that has damaging impacts on the central nervous system of those who develop it. Parts of the body such as the brain and spinal cord become affected by MS.

Once diagnosed, your immune system begins attacking your organs and body. Other symptoms of the disease are chronic fatigue, loss of coordination, a feeling of weakness or tingling, reduced sensation, and even problems with mood and cognitive ability.

MS progresses quite rapidly in some cases, meaning that Amy was soon bound to a wheelchair after her diagnosis. But her son Stephen was getting married soon, and everyone knew that something needed to happen on the big day so that Amy and Stephen didn’t miss out on the mother-son dance. But what was the plan?

Stephen’s bride, Cassie, tried to help Stephen figure out a way that the dance could go on as planned even though his mother was bound to a wheelchair. But the wedding was quickly approaching, and no one was sure about how to make things run smoothly.

Everyone knew that the moment would mean a lot to both mother and son, so finally, a plan emerged that would work out for everyone. Although Amy had no idea that plans had been going on behind her back, her son finally figured out how to make the moment happen.

He surprised his mother by picking her up so that she could share a special dance with him. Thankfully, the emotional moment was captured on camera and was uploaded to share with others.

The clip has since gone viral, and viewers are unable to watch it without shedding a few years. You can see just how emotional this moment was for Stephen and Amy. Watch the incredible moment for yourself in the video below.
