More than likely, you use Facebook on a regular basis and like many people, you scan down through the pictures that are posted by your friends and family. Facebook certainly is a great way to keep up on the latest and we often get a sneak peek behind the scenes that we would often not see. That is especially true if we happen to live far away from those that are close to us.
From time to time, a picture is uploaded on Facebook and it ends up going viral. Those pictures may go viral for any number of different reasons. Sometimes they do so because they are funny and other times because it imparts an important message. The picture that went viral in this post did so for all the right reasons.
It started when Amy Palmer uploaded a picture of her husband to her Facebook page. She thought that the picture was nice and it certainly did show something about her husband’s personality, but she wasn’t expecting it to go viral. Since the time that it is been uploaded, it has been shared and liked thousands of times on Facebook and there are even major news organizations that have picked up on the viral nature of it and reported on it. It is truly amazing when you see something like this gain a life of its own.
When Amy had recently admitted her baby boy to a hospital because he was sick, she decided that she would stick by his side. She slept in the chair by his crib for several nights but when she woke up from a nap one day, she saw something that she had the share. Her husband, Andre, was asleep on the floor under the crib. The story behind these pictures is what made it go viral.
“This is a picture of a hard working man dedicated to his family!! After working all night third shift, he’s right here with his son who is in the hospital. He’s so tired but he’s here!! Father of the year award goes to Andre Palmer!!! I love you more than words baby.” Amy writes on Facebook.
This is a beautiful moment and is easy to see why people would want to share something so wonderful.
