When A Teenage Girl Finds Her Father In An Unexpected Pose, She Quickly Snaps A Photo
A photo of a man bringing joy to his wife during her radiation therapy for cancer has captured widespread attention online.
As reported by BuzzFeed News, Marci Newman has been undergoing radiation treatment following a diagnosis of thyroid cancer, which requires her to be in isolation.
Her husband, Jon Newman, made it a point to support her during this challenging time.
One day, their 17-year-old daughter, Mackenna, came home from school and saw something heartwarming. She noticed her father sitting outside her mother’s room, where Marci was isolated, with a small gap in the door.
Mackenna shared a photo of the touching moment on social media.
“My mom has to stay in her room for her cancer radiation, so my dad set up a desk at her door to keep her company. I’m in tears,” Mackenna wrote on Twitter.
The post quickly went viral, garnering over 172,000 likes and more than 71,000 retweets. Many users expressed their support for Mackenna and her family.
“This is so beautiful! True, meaningful love. Wishing your mom all the best,” one user commented. Another wrote, “Your parents are incredible. Thinking of you all!”
Another person chimed in, “Wishing her a speedy recovery. You have an amazing dad; stay strong.”
A nurse and thyroid cancer survivor added, “This is so sweet! Sending blessings and success to your mom. Let me know if I can help in any way.”
Mackenna was touched by the outpouring of love and support on social media.
“I never expected such kindness, but I’m really thankful,” she told BuzzFeed News. “It’s heartwarming to see how deeply they love each other.”
Marci, the mother, noted that Jon’s supportive actions are typical of him.
“Jon attends every doctor’s appointment, every blood test, every surgery, and every radiation session,” Marci explained. “If he can’t be right next to me, he makes sure to be as close as possible!”
