Girls meet in real life after four years of talking daily on Facetime

This is perhaps the sweetest video that has ever been filmed.

Every day for the past four years, eight-year-olds Jalyssa and Kylie have chatted on Facetime.

But the girls have never met in real life.

Jalyssa's father Corey Walker is best friends with Kylie's father Stalley, but the families live seven hours apart.

However, the fathers decided to let the girls meet  - although they did not tell either of them ahead of time.

So, when they set each other at opposing ends of a hallway, they don't know how to deal with it.

Kylie and Jalyssa freeze in place, staring at each other, computing that the girl they have seen on the other end of their phones every day for four years is standing in front of them.

"Wait, what?" Jalyssa said.

"Are you real?"

The girls have to be told they can hug each other.

And when they do, the tears flow.

To quote William Shakespeare, "mine eyes smell onions".

The girls spent the whole weekend together before going their separate ways.

"It was a tough goodbye but 15 minutes after we left, they were back on Facetime," Corey wrote.
