While the solar eclipse caught just about everyone's attention this week, for one family it was particularly special.
Will Roberts, a 93-year-old man living in Nashville, Tennessee, was told by his hospice caregivers he would never live this long. But Roberts proved everyone wrong.
Hedy Morrison, Will Roberts' daughter, explained to ABC News:
At 93 years and 4 days, he witnessed his eclipse. It was unbelievable. It was pretty special he got to see it and we got to see it together.
Morrison tilted her dying father's wheelchair back, angling him just right so he was able to view the solar eclipse Monday. Four generations of the family were able to watch together as the moon passed perfectly in front of the sun to form the eclipse.
