A high school student took his grandma to prom because she missed going in 1961.

High school is a time when we have special events like dances, proms, and graduations.

But for Josephine from Camarillo, California, she never got to go to prom back in 1961.

However, her grandson, Michael Ganczewski, made sure to change that by taking her to his own senior prom.

When Ganczewski found out that his grandma missed her prom because of money problems, he saw a chance to make her happy. Just two weeks before his own senior prom and without a date, he realized he could make her dream come true.

When he asked Josephine to go to prom with him, she said no at first. She told him she was already happy just feeling loved on Mother’s Day weekend.

But Ganczewski didn’t give up. He convinced her, and on prom day, Josephine wore a pretty dress and a corsage. She was worried about her dancing but soon realized that being with her grandson was what made the night special.

In an interview with CBS Los Angeles, Ganczewski talked about his love for his grandma. “She is the most important woman in my life. If it wasn’t for her, my mom wouldn’t be here, and she wouldn’t have had me. And I love her, and I’d do anything for her,” he said.

Josephine remembered her reaction when her grandson asked her to prom: “I said I’m an old lady. I’m not going to the prom.” She thought Ganczewski, being a handsome young man, would have many other options for a date. But he insisted that she was the only one he wanted.

Although she didn’t know the latest dances, Josephine said, “Well, I don’t know any new dances, but I plan to do my best.” Her grandson’s effort to make her feel special touched her deeply. She said, “For the rest of my life, however long that is, I will never forget that he wanted to bring his Nana and show me a good time. That to me is very special.”

To make the night even more special, Josephine got a wonderful surprise at the end of prom – she was crowned prom queen! It was a dream she had been waiting for since 1961.

This amazing night, full of love and happiness, really highlighted how special the relationship between a grandson and his grandmother can be.
