'It was unexpected. It was beautiful. It was something we'll never forget,' Miko Mader tells PEOPLE of his daughter Lyla's birthday surprise
An 8-year-old girl couldn’t hold her birthday party as planned due to the outbreak of the coronavirus — but that didn’t stop her friends from celebrating the occasion in another way.
Unfortunately, the rapidly-spreading virus changed those plans, too, and forced her parents to cancel the family gathering. In an effort to make her day memorable, the Maders turned to Facebook and asked their friends and family to send Lyla some birthday wishes. Once they had all pulled in, the group started singing “Happy Birthday” to Lyla as she stood on her front porch beside her parents. Her father recorded the moment, while her mother watched on in tears.
“To see that many families coordinate, load up the cars, and drive over was touching,” he explains. “We know it’s not easy to balance working from home and childcare, so to take the time out of an upended routine is especially kind.”
