Ben Moser was friends with Mary Lapkowicz in fourth grade and promised her that when they were old enough, he would take her to prom. Ten years later, Mary, who suffers from down syndrome, planned to go to prom with some friends when Ben showed up on her door to keep his decade old promise.
Ben and Mary have had an incredible bond since they first met in second grade. Mary has Down syndrome, but Ben always made sure to include Mary in recess, and once stopped a soccer game to make sure she scored a goal.
“A lot of grade-school aged kids may have stayed away from my sister Mary or thought she was weird because she has Downs Syndrome. But not Ben,” Mary’s brother, Tom, wrote on Facebook.
