Doctors working at the frontline to treat coronavirus patients undergo tremendous stress and pressure. With the number of cases increasing by the day across the world, doctors and other healthcare workers are bound to work longer shifts, sometimes even compromising on sleep and food.
However, to help his doctor wife relax after coming back home from duty, one man built a makeshift fort inside their house! The ‘comfort castle’ was decorated with fairy lights and a snuggly mattress was placed inside it for them to lie on. The man also ordered his wife’s favourite food and some wine.
According to Hindustan Times, a video of the entire incident was posted on Reddit. In the beginning, the husband can be seen vacuuming the room, while their pet dog supervises! He then goes on to build the fort using bedsheets.
The video also has subtitles which say that his wife is a physician who is currently treating coronavirus patients and how this ‘comfort castle’ is a way to help her relax by the end of the day.
It is adorable to see the wife’s reaction when she comes back home and sees the arrangement!
Have a look at the full video here:
My wife is a doctor. As you can imagine, her stress/anxiety level rn is HIGH. I try to do little things around the house to take her mind off of reality. This was her surprise… from aww
People on the internet have been left teary-eyed by the video. Many took to the comment section to give virtual hugs to the family. Some, however, revealed that if they did the same for their wives, it wouldn’t go down so well!
