Family Gives Their Nurse Mom A Hero's Welcome Every Time She Comes Home From Work, And It's Giving Us All The Feels

At a time like this, it's hard to keep our spirits high.

For nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers who are on the front lines, helping patients who have tested positive with the virus, it's inevitably even harder.


Fortunately for one family in the U.K., they've come up with a unique way of welcoming their mother home from her shifts every day.

Lynne Lake is a nurse in Britain and has been for the past 38 years. She has always loved her work but admittedly felt beaten down by the long hours, stress and constant patients brought on by the pandemic.

Due to the quarantine, Lake's home is currently full of family, including her husband, Richard; their two sons, Jon and Richard; their daughter, Zoe; and Zoe's fiance, Joshua.

The family decided to start welcoming Lake home in a big way every day.

Fortunately, her son Jon took videos of the special moments and posted them to Twitter where the rest of us could enjoy them. So far, their big welcome home moments have included all kinds of creativity and fanfare.

There was the time when they applauded Lake when she walked in the door...

Another time, they set off confetti canons in the driveway when Lake got out of her car...

Jon serenaded her with a song he gave her for Mother's Day a few years ago...

They even arranged a special date night surprise for Lake and Richard...

But Twitter's favorite was the family's little welcome home party crammed in their front hallway, complete with balloons, confetti and happy cheers.

People have been feeling all the feels each time Jon posts a new welcome home video.




This is clearly a family of highly dedicated people—Lake to her patients and hospital and her family to her.

What this family is doing is such a beautiful sign of their commitment to her physical and emotional health during this stressful time.

We can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Matrix co-creator Lilly Wachowski has opened up about what it's been like to see her magnum opus The Matrix be co-opted by the far-right.

Anywhere you go in online spaces for the past 10-15 years, right-wing weirdos talk about being "red-pilled," a reference to the film's plot point in which lead character Neo is offered a red pill that will enlighten him to the realities of the systems ruling our lives, or a blue pill that will allow him to stay ignorant.

'Franklin The Turtle' Publisher Condemns Pete Hegseth For Turning Beloved Character Into Violent Meme

Kids Can Press, the Canadian publisher behind the beloved Franklin children's books, condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a statement after he shared an AI-generated image of Franklin the Turtle to justify his attacks on alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean.

Hegseth's original meme, which he inexplicably captioned "for your Christmas wish list," features a doctored book cover titled Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists and shows Franklin, the protagonist of the popular Canadian children's book series authored by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Brenda Clark, firing a bazooka from a helicopter at boats in the water below.
