CRANBERRY, Pa. (KDKA) - A local woman's video of her dancing with her son is going viral.
Samantha Duran lives in Cranberry. Her son Maddox has spina bifida. In her Facebook post, she says last April they were told Maddox had a cyst on his spine that could herniate his brain stem.

???? Our love for each other will live on forever ????
I've debated on sharing this, but sharing our story has always been a way to help me cope. Last April, we got the worst news of our life and it's been nothing but a roller coaster of emotions since then. We were told that the cyst Maddox has on his spine could herniate his brain stem and ultimately take his life. I've updated recently that we are currently in limbo. However, a flood of emotions has taken over my mind and body since last April. One of the thoughts that I had was that I might never get to have my Mother-Son dance with my special guy at his wedding because we're not sure if that day will come. So I bought a dress. Maddox got a little suit - complete with vest and bow tie, of course - and we did it. We had our dance. I will remember these 2 minutes for the rest of my life. While the song may not be intended to be slow danced to, it has so much meaning. Listen to the lyrics because they will forever be true. My love for him will live on forever. Adding even more importance is that it's from one of his favorite movies (he only has 3 that he actually watches), Coco. Time is precious. Time is not guaranteed. No matter what life holds in store, I will cherish these memories that we continue to make. My #SuperMad
She decided to record a video of her dancing with him, just in case she never gets the chance to dance with him at his wedding.
"I will remember these 2 minutes for the rest of my life," the post reads.
The song is from Maddox' favorite movie, Coco.
"Time is precious. Time is not guaranteed. No matter what life holds in store, I will cherish these memories that we continue to make," she goes on to say in the post.
The video has been viewed by tens of thousands of people and has over a thousand likes on Facebook.
