A photo of a young couple sleeping together in a hospital bed has gone viral after being posted on Reddit.
The photo shows a a boyfriend and girlfriend sharing a tiny hospital bed after the man was admitted with a brain hemorrhage and has tugged at the heart strings of many.
‘She says she never wants to sleep without me. I had a hemorrhage in my brain stem and spent a week in the hospital,’ the man wrote on Reddit under the name Yonderkinfolk. ‘She marched right through that hospital policy with a blanket and a pillow.’

The couple had no idea the photo was being taken at the time. ‘I was pretty heavily sedated through most of my stay,’ Yonderkinfolk said. ‘[Our friend] sent me the photo about a month later. We had no idea that it was being taken.’
They got engaged only months later, and married in November 2014.
Although some people have found the photo incredibly sweet, others have accused the man’s girlfriend of putting his life in danger by sleeping in bed with him.

Yonderkinfolk, however, said this wasn’t the case. ‘The doctors/nurses wouldn’t have allowed her to be in bed with me if it were any risks,’ he wrote.
‘The neurologist, although it took some convincing, allowed her to lay with me for a couple hours a night. After I fell asleep, she moved to the chair. NONE of this have been allowed if it put me in any danger.’
Thankfully, the man survived, although he had to learn how to do many things all over again. A few months later he posted another photo to Reddit, this time with his son.
‘After a bleed in my brainstem, this is my son, helping me learn to walk again,’ he captioned the picture, in which his son is leading him down a hospital corridor.
Touching ending: He posted an update eight months ago saying he had completed an 11 mile spartan endurance race (above)
The pair are even wearing matching eyepatches, with the man saying his son enjoyed the pirate accessory he had to wear. ‘I wore that patch for 2 months. He really enjoyed that. “Arrrrgghh daddy!”‘
Just when the story couldn’t get anymore heartwarming, eight months ago Yonderkinfolk posted an update.
Along with the photo of his son helping him, he posted another photo of himself completing an endurance race.
‘You may remember me from the first pic. I had a bleed in my brain stem, and my son helped me walk again. Just finished an 11 mile Spartan Race,’ he wrote.
