Rarely in life do we get the gift of knowing certain moments will be our last. Imagine how we might savor them, if we did. It would probably look a lot like this video below, shared by Isla Rachel on TikTok, which shows her husband Shaun enjoying one last cuddle with their son before receiving an arm amputation.
In an interview with Newsweek, Isla shared that her partner was diagnosed with sarcoma in May of last year, which resulted in a tumor that had developed in his chest that affect blood supply to his right arm. Unfortunately, after several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation surgery was the only viable option. And with that, very little chance of being able to spare the arm.
While Shaun was apparently “at peace” with the situation, it obviously didn’t make it less emotional. And in the clip, which quickly racked up nearly 600,000 views, we can feel that as he uses both arms to lift his child in the air, and offer his copious hugs and kisses.
