The coronavirus pandemic has socially distanced us from our loved ones. Countries across the globe have put several strict guidelines in place to curb the spread of the contagious virus especially in hospitals and healthcare centers fearing infecting the ailing patients.
A children’s medical center in Fort Worth, Texas also has a similar guideline in place that allows only one parent to accompany their sick child. But that didn’t stop this father from extending his love and support towards his son Aiden who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) at the beginning of the pandemic, reported The Indian Express.

In a video shared online by Cook Children’s Medical Center, Chuck can be seen doing his happy dance while Aiden looks at him from the window of his room.
