After three night shifts in a row, Andre Palmer went straight to see his son in hospital and found his very own resting place right under his son.

Waking to find her husband lying beneath their little boy, the mum took a picture of the sweet moment.

 

Speaking to abc13 News, Amy spoke about the touching moment.

 

“I thought to myself ‘after working all night he didn’t have to come to the hospital’.

 

“He could have went home to sleep.”

 

Posting the picture on Facebook, Amy wrote:

 

“This is a picture of a hard-working man dedicated to his family!

 

“After working his third all night shift, he’s right here with his son who is in hospital.”

Thanking the public for their kind words, Amy posted:

 

“I am so overwhelmed with so much emotion right now. I just want to take a minute to thank everyone who reached out to us whether by sharing the story, commenting, or sending messages.

 

“I took the picture because I thought what a selfless thing for my husband to do. He could have went home after work, he could have asked me to get up.

 

“I would have never imagined that it would have touched so many people.”
