Young Skype friends, both without an arm, meet in person for the first time

Sarah and Paige met on Skype about eight years ago.

Their mothers met in an online support group and hoped their daughters could support each other as they face similar challenges: both Sarah and Paige were born with one arm.

And while they first bonded over their physical similarities, they soon became best friends, telling each other everything.

This summer, Skype asked its users to share their stories of how they've stayed connected with loved ones using the video-chat software. When the company heard Sarah and Paige's story, however, they didn't just write about it, they decided to arrange a surprise meeting for the young women.

Watch Sarah, who lives in Nappanee, Indiana, learn that she'll finally be meeting her best friend from Aukland, New Zealand, below:

Now grab a few tissues and watch best friends meet each other for the first time.
