Poignant photo of mum & dad on life support saying goodbye

Chris Minnini, 21, shared this heartbreaking photo showing the moment his parents, both on life support, say goodbye to each other.

The incredibly raw moment was captured by Chris’s brother at Kingston General Hospital in Ontario, Canada, only hours before their dad, Jim, passed away last weekend.

His mother, Cindy Ireland, who suffered a heart attack at the same time, is now back home and recovering.

Chris decided to share the powerful image on Reddit as a way of remembering the love his parents shared. The couple had been married 23 years.

He told metro.co.uk: ‘I know that if my dad wanted to be remembered at all, it would’ve been for loving my mum.’
