Connie Johnson gets surprise bedside visit from alpaca
Just days after Samuel Johnson revealed the heartbreaking news that his sister Connie has been moved to hospice care and “actively dying”, Connie has been surprised by an unlikely hospital visitor.
The 40-year-old, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013, got a bedside visit from Hercules, an adorably fluffy alpaca.
Samuel shared a picture to the Love Your Sister Facebook page, writing, “This is Hercules. He is vying for top position as Connie's favourite nurse. Daw.”
Wearing a pink beanie and wrapped in a blanked, Connie gives the alpaca a kiss in the photo.
Just a few days earlier, Samuel had taken to the Love Your Sister Facebook page to update their more than 480,000 followers about her condition.
He said that his sister needed quiet time and had turned off social media as she tries to come to terms with the “most difficult thing she's ever had to face”.
Earlier this year, the mother-of-two decided to end treatment for her terminal breast cancer.
