Photo Of Pa. Dad Sleeping Under Son's Hospital Bed Goes Viral

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – You know what they say, being a parent is a selfless act.

One Pennsylvania man is proving that point thanks to a photo posted on Facebook that has now gone viral.

This is Andre Palmer from York.

His wife Amy posted this photo of him sleeping under his 20-month –old son's crib at the hospital.

Andre's son was asleep in his crib, his wife asleep in a chair when he got to the room.

Instead of waking up his wife, he grabbed a pillow and curled up under his son's crib.

Amy said, "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!!"

The photo has been viewed and shared thousands of times.
