A screengrab from the video posted by Thistleton Lodge on Facebook
A video of an elderly man tearing up after receiving a gift from his caregiver has melted hearts online and the story behind it is extremely emotional. Ken Bembow, a British war veteran has been staying in a elderly assisting facility and one of the care givers there noticed that he sleeps with his late wife's photograph.
As she realized that sleeping next to a picture in a glass frame can hurt him, caregiver Kia Mariah Tobin came up with an idea to give Bembow a unique gift. She gifted him a pillow with his wife's photo printed on it. The precious moment of Bembow tearing up while receiving the gift was captured on camera and was shared on Facebook that has touched hearts.
The care home where Bembow stays shared the video on their Facebook page, with the caption that reads, "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." The caption further detailed how Tobin presented him the pillow.
