Amy Palmer shared this photo showing her husband sleeping under her son's hospital-room crib.

On Wednesday, we published an article saying the parents of the year award should go to these folks.

Meet Andre Palmer, the York, Pennsylvania, dad who, according to his wife’s viral Facebook post and subsequent media interviews, spent the night sleeping on a hospital-room floor underneath his sick son’s crib after working a full shift.

On Thursday morning, she wrote a new post on Facebook, which read, in part, "I took the picture because I thought what a selfless thing for my husband to do. He could have went home after work, he could have asked me to get up. I would have never imagined that it would have touched so many people."
