NFL star goes to daddy-daughter dance with little girl who suddenly lost her dad

Losing a parent is a child’s worst nightmare. It is a tough challenge that Audry Soape, an 11-year-old from Texas, had to deal with in 2021.

Audrey’s father died suddenly. Five weeks later, her grandfather also died.

The middle schooler just had a lot of bad news to receive in the past year. She and her family are still grieving for the loss of their loved ones, and being reminded of who they lost is something that no grieving family would want to receive.

However, the daddy-daughter dance in Audrey’s school was about to take place, and she had no father or even a grandfather who will take her.

Holly Soape, the young student’s mom, wanted her daughter to be happy and be able to attend the dance without having to feel left out or lonely. And so, Holly came up with an idea to cheer her daughter up.

She reached out to NFL star and Philadelphia Eagles safety Anthony Harris thru social media to ask him if he could take her daughter in the daddy-daughter dance at their school. The athlete is Audrey’s favorite NFL player.

Holly did not really expect the NFL star to respond positively, but it happened!

Anthony Harris answered her and promised to be Audrey’s date for the dance. And when the day of the dance came, Anthony arrived and was dashing in his black suit and shoes. he was ready for the part!

Young Audrey is still unaware that someone special was about to make her night memorable. She went to the dance only to be surprised when she laid eyes on her favorite NFL star.
