(WHDH) — A nursing home resident in England was brought to tears by a thoughtful gift from a staff member on Saturday.
Ken, a resident at the Thistleton Lodge, sleeps every night with a picture of his late wife.
Staff member Kia Mariah Tobin created a pillow with Ken’s wife’s face on it so he could sleep with something a little more comfortable.
When Tobin presented Ken with the pillow, he immediately burst into tears with a big smile on his face.
“I thought that might be a bit better than your photograph,” Tobin told him as she gave him a hug.
Thistleton Lodge wrote on Facebook, “We know our residents are missing their loved ones at this time but let’s not forget those who sadly aren’t here with us anymore.”
