A loving and very creative husband took to Reddit to show off the Wizard of Oz-themed costume he made for his bedbound wife, and the internet lost its collective mind.
Reddit user @kitz2103 explained that his wife, Dianna Cowern (aka The Physics Girl), loves Halloween, but a chronic illness had left her unable to leave bed to celebrate. So he brought the celebration to her.
He wrote:
"My wife has been bedridden with a severe illness, but she loves to dress up for Halloween. So I made this costume for her."
"Seeing her smile made the under the fingernail cardboard paper cut almost worth it."
The man noted that he made the costume, but the idea was all his wife's. Since she's bedridden, she decided to dress as The Wicked Witch... of the East. Yes, the one that got crushed by a house.
The photos showed striped stockings and ruby red slippers peeking out from under a cardboard house that had clearly been battered by a harsh tornado landing.

Viewers were just as blown away as the house that flattened the witch.

By the looks of it, we'd say she approved!

Cowern's husband also posted pics, on her behalf, to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, where she has been open about her struggle with long Covid.
Viewers there were equally impressed.
Just fantastic. Well done!
