I saw this emotional piece and felt i should share it with all nairalanders. Its a touching story


1. Cancer tears loving families apart, but even though he was losing his own battle to cancer, Fred Evans refused to let it steal one thing he has always wanted to do. Fred and his wife Karla have three daughters and a son.So, he pulled together this heartwarming and tear-jerking surprise.

2. That’s why he decided to do something he refused to miss before dying: walk his girls down the aisle.

3. Neither of daughters were engaged to be married, but he surprised them with the special ceremony anyway.
