A woman from Nashville is overjoyed to have been able to witness the total solar eclipse with her father, who is close to passing away.
The touching photo shows 66-year-old Hedy Morrison tilting her elderly father’s wheelchair backward to watch the eclipse. His head rests peacefully on her chest.
The special moment captured on camera on Aug. 21. is tugging people’s heartstrings around the world.
Morrison told ABC News the whole family got to experience the magic moment together.
“There were four generations of us there watching. It was a really special moment,” she said. “I’m so thrilled my dad was alive long enough to see his first total eclipse ever.”
Morrison’s father, Will Roberts, had celebrated his birthday on Aug. 17, just days before the eclipse, a milestone his caregivers were surprised he reached.
