\"One of the reasons [I came to New York] was that I wouldn’t be tempted to go home every night and those two would do exactly what they’re doing now, which is to quarantine in the house and love each other,\" Adams said, referring to his girlfriend and daughter. \"I love that they get to spend this much time together. I wish that I would be there too, but I’ll be getting back soon.\"
In addition to exchanging videos, Adams also FaceTimes with Hake and Remy and with his son Jack, who lives with his mother, on the few days he has off during the week.
Adams said he wants his children to learn from this example that \"if you have the ability to help people, then you should.\"

PHOTO: Luke Adams, a critical care nurse, talks with his girlfriend Abbi Hake and their 10-month-old daughter Remy.
\"It was certainly not something I ever expected in my life, that we would be faced with a crisis where a critical care nurse can suddenly make all the difference in the world, one or 100 of them,\" said Adams, who described entering New York ICUs when he first arrived as like \"entering a war zone.\" \"Everybody wants to be their kids’ hero and I’m hoping that maybe this is the first step.\"
\"Maybe when they grow up, they watch these clips and go, ‘Oh, you know, dad was actually a pretty good guy,'\" said Adams.
