Mom wraps her ICU nurse daughter in a sheet so she could finally hug her



While we understand that social distancing is very important right now, this mother came up with an idea so she can finally hug her ICU nurse daughter in Cincinatti.

This heartbreaking photo of Cheryl Norton hugging her daughter Kelsey Kerr has earned overwhelming reactions. And we understand what the impromptu gestures represents.




“I see on social media that all these healthcare workers are feeling very isolated and I did not want that to happen to her,” Cheryl told Good Morning America. “I thought I want to hug her and if she has a sheet around her, maybe I can do it.”

Cheryl wanted her daughter not to feel isolation, so she used a cover and left in the garage for a few days before being washed. 

For Kerr, her mom's spontaneous hug is a very special consolation every time they met.





The photo was captured by a family friend, who was walking in the neighborhood.

“There’s so much difficulty right now but we’re going to make it through it and we’re all going to be together in the end. It’s just a matter of getting there.”

Kerr said she and her hospital coworkers have had to learn not to hug or high-five either, and are instead encouraging each other with supportive words. She hopes people see "a little bit of sunlight" in the photo of her with her mom.

The US has now recorded 18,586 deaths and is closing in on the toll of 18,849 dead in Italy, which has seen the most fatalities so far in the global pandemic.
