A daughter’s picture of her father
sitting outside her mother’s room while she’s in isolation has melted
hearts online and caused people to refer to her father as a hero
husband.
Marci Newman, 49, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in
October last year and all the while, her husband, John, has been there
for her every step of the way.
Recently she had radiation treatment for
cancer and was placed in isolation so John decided to improvise so his
wife wouldn’t be lonely. The doting husband moved his desk and chair to
sit outside Marci’s room, where she was isolated and from there he kept
talking to her and reassuring her following a radioactive iodine
treatment.
Their teenage daughter, Mackenna, captured the precious moment and shared on Twitter.
said: “On the first day my dad sat outside in the backyard and talked
to her through the window. The last two days is when he set up the
little desk to stay with her.”
She posted the picture on Twitter
and wrote: “My mom has to stay in her room in isolation for her cancer
radiation so my dad set up a desk at her door to keep her company and
I’m crying”.
The story quickly went viral after
it was posted and people praised John and spoke about how moved they
were by his action. One woman also reached out by sharing a photo of her
son doing the exact same thing for her when she was in isolation for
the same cancer treatment. She encouraged Mackenna to stay strong and
positive.
