A mother has posted some heartwarming photos as she took her one-year-old son to her prom, and it is a cuteness overload. Melissa McCabe, from Tranmere in the UK, gave birth to her son Arthur when she was 15 years old back in 2020, and she has doted on her little boy ever since. Being a young mom meant that Melissa still had her final year of school and her prom to look forward to, and she wasn't going to let Arthur miss those events either. As is usually the custom in schools in the UK, when leaving at the age of 16 before going on to further levels of education, a prom is held for those graduating.

It's not a huge thing to ask people to go to the prom with you, as friends usually just hire some sort of funky transport together - but Melissa knew exactly who she wanted to attend with. Wearing a blue dress decorated with crystals, the 16-year-old was joined by one-year-old Arthur, who looked incredibly dapper in his three-piece suit. Taking to TikTok, Melissa wrote: "Everyone going to prom with their boyfriend whereas I took my biggest blessing," and the video is full of adorable pictures of Arthur.

Viewers flooded the comments with lovely messages, as one person wrote: "Aww this is the cutest and sweetest thing ever. What a lucky little man to have such a wonderful and beautiful momma!" A second person added: "Seriously so precious! You’re a rockstar and don’t EVER let anyone make you feel less. God Bless you both." A third said: "Aww how cute I love how you always make him a part of your special memories and you are an amazing mum to him." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263218596" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-29-at-12.44.51-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="372" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263218597" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-29-at-12.45.46-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="344" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263218598" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-29-at-12.46.13-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="345" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Melissa opened up to the <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/tiktok-teen-mum-who-couldnt-24458695" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool Echo</a> about the challenges she's faced being a young mom, and that includes people being judgemental that she got pregnant at her age. Despite people not thinking Melissa would succeed as a mother, it's clear by the smile on Arthur's face that she is proving them all wrong. <h6>Featured image credit: kali9 / Getty</h6>
