Parents surprise FaceTime friends with their first meeting, and it's too much
The internet has connected us in ways we never thought possible, allowing people who would've never met to create long-lasting friendships. Unfortunately, distance is a bitter reality and often those internet friendships are screen-only.
Redditor core330 and his best friend have daughters the same age. The two introduced them on FaceTime four years ago, and since then, they've been best friend. Unfortunately, the two were separated by a 7 hour distance, and were never able to meet IRL.
But without their knowledge, the dads decided to plan a surprise visit and captured the girls meeting for the very first time.
It is the most heartwarming thing ever. The girls stare at each other in total disbelief for a few moments, before going in for the hug. Try not to tear up.
People in the comments had a similar reaction.
If this doesn't tug at your heartstrings and make you want to call your own long-distance BFF, then nothing else ever will.
