A
tender picture showing an Italian man cradling his frail grandmother who
has Alzheimer's has touched the hearts of thousands of people in just a
few days.
Gianuluca
Murisciano posted a picture on his Facebook page of him holding his
87-year-old grandmother Antonia in his arms on December 31, and since
then it has received over 400,000 likes. It has also been shared 37,000
times.
In
a caption that accompanies the picture Mr Murisciano writes that the
moment was 'the best of my life' despite being heartbreakingly sad. His
grandmother's condition is so bad, she often doesn't recognise her
grandson, or mistakes him for his brother.

Mr
Murisciano goes on to write that he shared the picture 'without shame
or fear' to remind people that 'life should always be lived'.
His
message for 2015, he wrote, was that people 'always be present' and
that they not only 'protect and comfort' those around them, but also
keep them 'happy and smiling with us'.
He told Italian media that his beloved grandmother was not 'crying' in the picture, but was expressing her 'modesty'.
Mr
Murisciano said he grew up in his grandparents' home, and it was now
time to 'reciprocate' by caring for them where he could.
