Amid the novel coronavirus pandemic outbreak, while most people have been staying indoors in isolation, a man's heartfelt gesture on being unable to accompany his cancer-stricken wife inside the hospital, has been doing rounds on the internet. Following the rapid increase in the coronavirus-infected cases and lockdown restrictions, the husband could not tag along with his wife for her chemotherapy session. Therefore, he made arrangements for being beside her during her session even if he could not enter the hospital and his adorable gesture, is winning the hearts of people all around the world.

Kelly Harrell Conner, suffering from stage II breast cancer, had her scheduled chemotherapy session at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Her husband, Albert Conner, aware of the need of home quarantine and social distancing, understood that he could not enter the hospital premises in order to support his wife, following the restrictions in the entry of visitors in most hospitals. Albert, however, in order to stay beside his wife, drove to the cancer center in a different car and parked outside the center. He laid out a chair, took his book and bottle of a cold drink and placed a romantic placard beside him, solely dedicated to his wife. He not only wrote to his wife, that he was there to be with her during her session but also thanked the hospital staff. The picture of Albert sitting outside the center was uploaded by MD Anderson Cancer Center on their official Instagram and Facebook accounts.
