HOUSTON - An emotional moment captured on video and shared by thousands over the internet is being treasured by the parents who made it happen. 

“There are no words,” said Courtney Bennett. “There are no words.” 

Courtney and Justin Bennett just wanted to give their daughter Emma something special.  

The precocious 10-year-old was born with a rare birth defect and has worn a prosthetic limb for most of her life; but it’s never slowed her down.

“She’s like any other child,” said Justin Bennett. “She swims. She's in soccer, cheerleading, volleyball.”

Story doesn't end there!

Manufacturer "Step Ahead" the manufacturer of the prosthetic limbs for "American Dolls" and other dolls, flew Emily and her entire family to New York to give her a brand new state of the Art prostethic Limb.

THESE VIDEOS AND STORIES MADE ME CRY TODAY.
