Yup. This Skype Ad Will Make You Cry

Long ago two girls on opposite ends of the Earth were born with out full left arms. Their parents connected in the child’s early years for support and encouragement. After a time, the girls, themselves, became friends and began conversing over Skype…for eight years.

The girls, Sarah from Nappanee, Indianna and Paige from Aukland, Neew Zealand, formed a strong bond and formed a deep friendship. But they had never met. Until, as part of Skype’s Family Portrait Series, the two were able to meet.

Their story, incredibly heartwarming, is beautifully told in a three minute video created by Pereira & O’Dell. In the video, we learn the history of the girls, how their mothers connected the girls and we get top see the two girls meet for the first time. This is when the heart strings are yanked to their fullest but in a decidedly unmanipulative manner. Via.
