While sorting through his belongings, Nicole found several of his work shirts and had an idea. With help from her aunt, she spent days sewing them together into a prom dress so she could carry a piece of her father with her that night.
When she arrived at prom, some classmates laughed and mocked the dress, calling it “janitor’s rags.” Humiliated but determined, Nicole explained that the dress was made from her father’s shirts to honor him.
