Ashley Schaus of Santa Claus, Indiana, knew that she would be close to her younger sister Hannah from the day she was born. But with time, Ashley began to understand that her younger sister was not like other children.

Ashley's parents sat the young girl down one day and explained to her that her younger sister was afflicted with a condition known as Down's syndrome. Ashley decided at that moment she would become a champion for her younger sister. She was committed throughout their lives to making sure Hannah never felt left out in any situation. In this inspiring video from 2017, the end result of this dedication is shown in a wonderful moment.

Ashley's stance on dedication was tested when she met and began to date Will Seaton. As the pair grew closer, Ashley explained to him that Hannah would be present with her at all times. Will accepted both sisters without hesitation. He fully understood how important Hannah was to Ashley and decided that Hannah would be a sister to him also. 

"I told him we were a package deal when we started dating in 2010," Ashley Schaus told ABC News.
