At 98 years old, Ada Keating moved into a care home. Not just for herself. Her 80-year-old son, Tom, was already living there. Tom had never married and had lived with his mother for most of his life. So when Ada became frailer and needed more support herself, she chose the same care home so they could be together again. She still went to see him every morning. She still checked on him at night. And she still worried about him like any mother would. When asked why, Ada gave the simplest answer: "You never stop being a Mum." She was 98. He was 80. And to her, he was still her boy. Their story, often described as one of the most touching mother–son bonds in Britain. Tom died in December 2019, and Ada followed just two months later, in February 2020 at the age of 101. Do you find this mother and son love fascinating and heartwarming, as they both had long lives inseparable from each other?
