Marci Newman was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer and has been undergoing radiation treatments, BuzzFeed News reported. The treatments required that she remain in isolation.<\/p>\n
But her husband, Jon Newman, didn\u2019t let that stop him from being there for her.<\/p>\n
One day, their 17-year-old daughter, Mackenna, came home from school to a heartwarming sight. She saw her father sitting on a chair that was positioned just outside of her mother\u2019s room. The door was slightly cracked open.<\/p>\n
Mackenna took a picture of her father keeping her mother company and shared it on social media.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMy mom has to stay in her room in isolation for her cancer radiation so my dad set up a desk at her door to keep her company and I\u2019m crying,\u201d Mackenna wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
The photo quickly went viral, receiving more than 71,000 retweets and more than 172,000 likes. Several social media users offered words of support to Mackenna and her family.<\/p>\n
