The moving surprise of a caregiver to a widower in a nursing home

–

Millions of internet users have been touched by the magnificent gesture of a 17-year-old caregiver who wanted to surprise Ken, 94, a resident of a nursing home in Britain.

Kia Tobin is a 17 year old young woman who works in a home located in Preston, England. She noticed that Ken Bembow, a 94-year-old resident, fell asleep every night hugging a photo of his wife, Aida, who died last August at the same establishment.

A wonderful surprise

Ken and Aida had celebrated their 71 years of marriage and the disappearance of his wife leaves a huge void in the life of the nonagenarian. Touched by the fact that Ken fell asleep with the portrait of his late wife, the young caregiver had the idea to take a photo of the portrait with his smartphone and print it on a cushion.
