Burke didn't expect much when she sent that message.She said she was hopeful but wasn't sure she'd hear back at all, and the company didn't just send pictures.They invited the whole family backstage to see the drones up close before the show even started. Preston Wart, president of Sky Elements, said he just wanted Paesyn to feel like part of something she doesn't usually get to be part of.That's the kind of small gesture that doesn't cost much but means everything to a family.
Paesyn, it turns out, is a big fan of K pop Demon Hunters, and she sang a line from one of the songs when a reporter asked about her favorite artist.As the sun went down over North Tarrant Chamber's Family Fireworks and Drone Show, she sat with the Monarch device in her hands, feeling each design just before it bloomed above her.She called it cool, plain and simple.Her mom had hoped to give her daughter a way to understand what everyone else was seeing, and for one night, that's exactly what happened.Hundreds of other families sat nearby watching the same sky, not knowing a ten year old girl a few feet away was experiencing it with her hands.
