I wore my father’s uniform to my prom.

“I wore my dad’s uniform to my prom—and they didn’t get it until it was too late.” Prom night was supposed to be something I would just get through.

Smile when necessary.

Keep quiet.

Go home.

That was the plan.

But everything changed the moment I walked down the stairs.

I was wearing a dress I had sewn myself from my dad’s old military uniform.

Not because it was perfect.

Because it was his.
