If comedian Bill Murray sings to you for your birthday, you must be doing something right.
Maryellen Hook Wible was celebrating her 94th birthday at the Xavier vs. Baylor college basketball game when Murray, who was also at the game, sang to her.
Her grandson Noah Wible uploaded video of the moment with a lengthy caption, explaining why she went to the game, which read:
If you're not a Bill Murray fan already, you will be soon. I can't believe this happened. It is Grandmother Wible's 94th Birthday. She doesn't get out much anymore, but wanted to attend her first Baylor basketball game.. On the way to the game she shared with me how excited she was to get out of the house. See about this time last year my Grandfather Wible (her husband) of 73 years passed away and she has been feeling lonely lately.
Wible then went on to praise Murray for what he did:
Well little did she know that for her birthday she was going to sit front row, Baylor would win, and she would not only meet Bill Murray, but have him sing Happy Birthday to her. Mr. Murray, you sir, are a legend and here's why. He was bombarded with people asking for pictures all game, his team (Xavier) he came to support lost, and he not only was willing to take a picture with my grandmother but was the one to ask if we could sing Happy Birthday to her. He didn't have to do that, I just asked him if we could take a quick picture. He genuinely wanted to make my Grandmother feel special. He is truly a class act. So Happy Birthday Maryellen Hook Wible, I love you and am thankful I was able to come down to celebrate with you!
According to TIME, Murray's son is the assistant coach for Xavier, and Murray was there support the team.
