A pair of childhood best friends were brought to floods of happy tears when they finally reunited by surprise two and a half years after one family moved across the country. Adaleigh Milligan, 10, had been told by her mom they were heading to Florida to see her grandpa, when, really, they were taking a flight to Dallas, Texas, where her best friend Maliah Hahn now lives. Having landed, Adaleigh started noticing Dallas signs, and so, when things clicked, mom Kelli told her they were visiting Maliah and that everything had been one big secret. Wanting to then surprise her best friend, Adaleigh approached Maliah’s house and rang the doorbell. As the door opened, Maliah, 10, answered, and with both girls suddenly laying eyes on each other for the first time since the pandemic, they suddenly burst into tears of emotion.
