Just waiting?

Uh, huh.

She won't be long.

Let's get you to bed.

Bye you guys,

thanks for the ride!

Bye Anna!

See you later Anna!

Boys! Tell about the boys!

Come on!

Well first I danced with Eldon

I know, and Ryan

kept looking at us.

Oh, is he hot?

Totally, totally hot.

Hey!

No talking about boys...

Without me!

Move over, move over.

Mom, you'll never

guess what happened.

I danced with Eldon.

- Hot, hot!

- He's hot.

Hot Eldon.

He's hot, hot Eldon.

Sick

what?

Who cares right!

Boys!

Mommy!

Mommy!

The monsters, monsters!

Shh, shh, baby

mommy's here, it's ok.

Kennedy, shh-shh.

Calm down, calm down.

- Mommy's here.

- We're right here.

We're right here.

Shh, shh.

Shh, shh.

Today I was thinking

about that time in 2nd grade

when she was the only

girl in her class

that wasn't invited

to that birthday party...

Any other girl

would've been so upset,

but not her.

Not Deedee.

And just a month later,

remember?

When it was her birthday,

she made sure we invited that

girl who had left her out.

She's not normal Jase.

She's not a normal kid at all.

Always thinking of others,

putting her needs aside.

It's probably why

it took us so long

to figure out what's

wrong with her.

She just kept plugging along,

going to school...

Saying it was

probably just a bug.

But it wasn't.

It's so much worse.

Hi, Deedee.

Oh, honey.

Is this something

you are hoping to do?

To get your driver's license?

Sweetie, I know you

want to drive so bad,

but there are some things we're

gonna have to rethink now.

I, I'm good.

Yes, you are and...

We will just find other

things you can do.

One day, heavenly father

will f-f-fix my eyes.

I don't know what else to do.

I'll stay with her tonight.

Please...

Give Kennedy the same

opportunities this year

as other kids.

Help her to feel normal.

I'm asking for these

blessings for her.

I'll be back.

Hey dad!

Hey, you're having fun!

Yeah, where's Kennedy?

Um, I'll find her.

Hey Deedee.

Hey come with me and we'll

go into the dance together.

Yeah, that would be fun.

Can't.

Yes, you can.

Deedee, you're a good dancer.

Hey and there's boys out there.

No.

No boy wants to dance with me.

Sure they do.

No.

- Bishop.

- Hi Jason.

Hey, where's Kennedy?

Well, she's in the kitchen...

'Cause she not only has

to deal with her disease,

she can't handle being

rejected by all these boys

and I can't blame her.

I mean they're not even

giving her the time of...

Hi!

Hey Levi!

I love this song.

Hi Cooper!

- How are you?

- Good, how are you?

We have some fine

young men in this stake,

and you have an even

greater young woman.

Hi Deedee.

Will you dance with me?
