The touching tale of 98-year-old Ada Keating and her 80-year-old son Tom has captured the hearts of many around the world.
Ada, from England, became a mother at a young age. She was just 18 when Tom was born, and the two have shared a special, close bond ever since.
When Tom’s health necessitated a move to a nursing home, Ada visited him every single day. However, after a year of daily visits, Ada decided that being near her son wasn’t enough. She wanted to live with him, so she asked to move into the same nursing home.
