The love of a mother is completely indescribable.
A 98-year-old woman became famous after she decided to live in the same nursing home as her 80-year-old son in order to care for him.
Ada Keeting is a wonderful mother who made it her mission to look after her son’s well-being, and it’s a heartwarming story about a mother’s love being so strong even at such an old age.
Tom Keating was transferred to the Moss View care facility in Liverpool, UK, in 2016 because he required additional care and assistance.
Mother Ada chose to live in the same house as her oldest daughter in order to be closer to her and care for her. They spend as much time as they can watching Emmeralde or playing games together in their spare time.
Ada and Tom are from Liverpool’s Wavertree and have always had a special bond because they have always lived together and Tom has never married.
Ada mentioned that they’d developed a routine.
«Every night, I say goodnight to Tom in his room, and every morning, I go say good morning to him,» she explained. «I’ll let him know I’ll be free for breakfast.»
She stated that even after all these years, they are still in love.
«When I go to the hairdresser, he will look for me and see when I will return,» she explained. «When I come back, he’ll run up to me with his arms spread and give me a big hug.» «You’ve always been a mother.» «They’re very good here,» Tom said, «and I’m glad to see my mother more now that she lives here.» «Behave yourself,» she will occasionally advise. She looks after me very well.
Ada and her late husband Harry had four children, with Tom being the oldest and the only boy. Ada’s daughters, Margi, Barbara, and Janet, died when they were 13 years old. Tom worked as a painter and decorator before retiring, and Ada worked as an auxiliary nurse.
Members of the couple’s family pay regular visits to their home and are always delighted to see the couple together. Up to five generations of the Keating family visit on occasion.
Debi Higham, Ada’s granddaughter, pays frequent visits to her grandmother and uncle. She stated as follows:
«They are inextricably linked. It’s reassuring to know that they’re both being cared for around the clock.
Phillip Daniels, the manager of the care home, expressed his delight at having Tom and Ada among them.
«Seeing Tom and Ada’s close friendship is very moving, and we’re so glad we were able to meet both of their needs,» he added. «Because having moms and kids in the same facility is unusual, we want to make their time together as meaningful as possible.» They are inextricably linked.
