Junior Jacobs lives in a long-term assisted living facility, which is currently not allowing any family members inside the rooms at this time due to the coronavirus outbreak.
From Jacobs' smile, you can tell his day was made. Luckily, he has a personal balcony, so his caretakers were able to bring him outside. His family members waved, sang "Happy Birthday" and waved a big 90th birthday banner from the green lawn outside the building.
Although these can be bittersweet moments not getting to be with loved ones during these celebrations, it shows the power of human connection is still very present.
