While social distancing has kept families apart, it has also brought unlikely people together in inspirational ways.

Sarah Cahill has been struggling to see her mother who lives at Alabama Oaks Assisted Living Facility in Winter Park, Florida. She has been instructed to not get closer than 10 feet from her mom which has been tough for them both.

“Yes, it’s sad, we are very close and I’m an only child… and she has dementia so she doesn’t understand why I can’t come through the gate,” Cahill told CBS News.

To try and cheer her mother up, Cahill started dancing and singing behind the facility’s gate. Cahill noticed a utility worker singing across the street and asked if he would be willing to come to sing to her mother too. He jumped at the opportunity to do so.

Albert Jones, a utility worker for Southeast Connections Gas Company, sings in his church and has a nursing home singing ministry. He came to the gate and sang “His Eye Is On The Sparrow,” to Cahill’s mother.

“If you listen carefully you can hear mom singing with him. She loves music and is always singing,” Cahill said.

Cahill posted the video online which quickly went viral. She became quick friends with Jones and mentioned to him her mother’s birthday was soon approaching. Jones wanted to sing to her again to celebrate.

This time, Jones stood behind the gate of the senior living facility and sang “Happy Birthday” to Cahill’s mom, who turned 94.

Cahill filmed that serenade, too. “She was so happy to see him. She knew his heart, even from the distance,” Cahill said.

The moment was captured on video and went more viral than the first. News stations all over the country picked up on the story to bring some happiness to the masses. The act of kindness brought many people happiness, and Cahill even called Jones an angel.

“I hope that when this virus is over, people will have changed and not wasted this time to reflect, and trust that there are good people everywhere,” she said. “This virus has brought us all together and we are fighting for each other. Albert trusts in God, and so do I, and he freely shared his God-given gifts when asked to. We should all be that free to say yes when asked for help.”
