Marine veteran Dean Evans understands the ups and downs that come with caring for an aging parent. His father, Ricky Evans, has been dealing with symptoms of Alzheimer's since 2011. Although he is only 66 years old, Ricky is now confined to a wheelchair because of limited mobility issues. In addition to Alzheimer's, Ricky also has Parkinson's disease.

On February 23, Dean delighted the internet when he posted a video of his three-year-old daughter dancing with Ricky. Dean's adorable daughter, Paisley, was all decked out in a beautiful princess gown. The unique dress changed colors as she danced across the room in a haze of sparkles. Although Ricky's hospital gown was not as fancy, he still looked precious next to his granddaughter.

During the viral video, Dean explains how Paisley had wanted to go to the ball with her grandfather. Although a full-fledged ball was not in the cards, Dean did his best to make it happen by arranging the special dance.

The duo danced to the tune of “Tale as Old as Time” from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” This touching song was the perfect choice for the dance. Dean was a doting son, standing behind Ricky to hold him up.

After eight years of service, Dean left the military to care for his ailing parents. It is clear that he is an amazing caregiver to all of those around him. You have to watch this adorable video to appreciate the love that this family share:

After you have watched the dance, be sure to spread the joy to everyone that you know. Isn't this absolutely cute?
