The photo has been shared hundreds of times and the story picked up by media outlets across the country.

In a later post, Amy wrote she was feeling “so overwhelmed with so much emotion” and would’ve never imagined the photo would have touched so many people.

“I just want to take a minute to thank everyone who reached out to us whether by sharing the story, commenting or sending messages,” she wrote. “I appreciate all of the prayers and thoughts.”

Palmer said she took the picture because she thought it was a selfless thing for her husband to do.

The Palmers’ son is now home from the hospital and doing much better.
