Feel like crying? Well then you’ve clicked on the right post because this one is an emotional doozy. Meet Ryan Manning and his mother Mary Ann Manning — the mother/son duo dancing in the video below. A wedding dance that would in turn be Mary Ann’s last, as she lost her long battle with cancer a mere three days after the event.
See? We told you this one had all of the feels.
Mary Ann’s managing of the feat was impressive not simply because of her diagnosis, but because she’d been confined to a wheelchair in the months leading up to the wedding.
At the reception Ryan and Mary Ann danced to Israel Ka’ano’i Kamakawiwo’ole’s ukulele-based rendition of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” — is anyone reading this NOT at least tearing up at this point? — the one thing she’d told family and friends she’d been living for these past few months.
Exactly 72 hours after the ceremony started, Mary Ann had passed away.
Now everyone go hug your mom and tell them you love them.
