Dear Editor,

My wife and I heard singing outside.

We looked out of our bedroom window and saw a group of adults and children standing in front of Manoah Manor on 54A Avenue in Langley, singing Happy Birthday to someone inside.

I took this picture with my cellphone a couple of hundred yards away, so not a very good shot.

But it bought tears to our eyes to watch people cheering up a family member in an assisted living home.
