Dad Was Unaware Teen Daughter Was Watching When He Sat Outside Sick Mom’s Door

You want to see true love? Scroll down, and you will see a picture of it. The picture just shows the back of a man. He is sitting in front of a door that is ajar. He has a little table and chair and is peeking his head into what appears to be a bedroom. Love.

The photo was taken and posted by the man’s daughter, Mackenna Newman.

The man in the picture is her husband, and Mackenna’s dad, Jon. The family lives in California, and the world is now sending them love after seeing the photo and hearing the story behind it.

Mackenna’s mom, Marci, is getting radiation treatment for thyroid cancer. If caught early, thyroid cancer is treatable with radiation therapy. The downside is that patients undergoing radiation therapy are slightly radioactive and need to be isolated from other people.
