Husband pays heartwarming tribute to his 'overworked' nurse wife
So much better than a bunch of flowers...
An adorable Facebook post from a husband about his overworked 'hero' wife has gone viral with nearly 150k shares.
Bobby Wesson dedicated the social media story to his wife Rayena Wesson, who is a mum and trauma nurse at a hospital in Alabama.
The father, who previously worked for the Alabama Media Group, has been married since 2013 and said; 'My wife is a nurse. My wife is a hero.'
When the unsuspecting mother-of-one took a quick nap before work with her toddler son on Saturday 7th November, her proud husband decided to take a picture to remember the moment.
Bobby then uploaded the photo to his personal Facebook page 'in less time than it took to brew coffee' intended to only be seen by close friends.

Alongside the family snap, Bobby described how Rayena's night as a trauma nurse will unfold; 'Her hair and makeup will be done quickly. She will complain that she looks awful. I will disagree, emphatically, and get her a cup of coffee.'
