Our friends at ESPN always do an outstanding job with their inspirational videos on former and current athletes. The video below is extra special, though, because it features former Penn State and current Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still and his daughter Leah, who is battling a rare form of pediatric cancer.
Still and Leah recently made a visit to Disney World in Orlando, Fla. During the visit, Leah received a princess makeover, she got to share a special dance with her dad during a parade, and she had her Christmas wish fulfilled when she was surprised by her favorite Disney character, Princess Jasmine.
"I understand that Christmas next year is not promised," Still said. "I think that we try to take everything day by day and try to create as many memories as possible that we can hold onto."
Watch the full video below. Hope you have a tissue nearby.
