He moved into his apartment in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, in 2015 when he saw an elderly woman looking out her window, always ready with a friendly greeting.<\/p>\n<p>Norma Cook lives on the same floor, slightly across from Chris.<\/p>\n<p>He started to make regular visits to her place after knowing that she was living alone with her cat. Chris realized that the least he could do was spend time with her.<\/p>\n<p>The two soon became best of friends, sharing fun moments together.<\/p>\n<p>Chris shares this lovely, albeit unlikely, pairing on his social media. He posted pictures of them celebrating holidays together or videos like their pizza night when they ate pizza in Norma\u2019s bed. He admits that she stole the limelight, gaining more likes than his own posts.<\/p>\n<p>Then, things took a dark turn when Norma was diagnosed with leukemia.<\/p>\n<p>The bills started to pile up, and Chris ran to social media for help. He created a GoFundMe page to help with Norma\u2019s hospital and health care bills.<\/p>\n<p>The page garnered more than $30,000 overnight!<\/p>\n<p>That just shows how well-loved Norma was, even to people who only knew her through Chris\u2019s posts. She was overwhelmed with happiness when she learned about this great news.<\/p>\n<p>However, the funds soon ran out, and Chris thought of the best way to help her.<\/p>\n<p>He offered to let Norma stay with him in his apartment. That way, she doesn\u2019t have to think about home and utility bills. Plus, he could look after her and give her the care she needs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6856\" src=\"https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-26-300x270.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-26-300x270.webp 300w, https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-26.webp 700w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:YOUTUBE SCREENSHOT \u2013 NBC NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Some might think Norma is so lucky to have Chris, but he believes it\u2019s the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs much as I\u2019m here helping her, she\u2019s helped me tremendously. It\u2019s really brought me back to what\u2019s important: family, love, human kindness,\u201d he told NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>Norma is also thankful that she had Chris to spend the remainder of her days.<\/p>\n<p>She never wanted to be put into a home or to stay in the hospice until her last breath. After being hospitalized, she was eager to go home and be with Chris and her cat. This was her ideal place to pass away \u2013 in the arms of someone who treated her like family.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Norma died a couple of years afterward and Chris poured his heart out in this social media post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps Norma\u2019s lasting legacy is that her story helped the world to see the true meaning of love. Norma reminded me that we all are created to love and all desire to be loved,\u201d he wrote on his Instagram post.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, a lesson that all of us could learn from.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Inspiring America: Young Neighbor Invites Ailing 89-Year-Old To Move In | NBC Nightly News\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C60kCBiZLsM?feature=oembed\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"444\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Please SHARE this with your friends and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How far would you go to show love for your neighbor?
