There aren't many of these types of stories left to tell in the world, and man, when they happen, they're good:

For 82 years, Betty Grebenschikoff believed her best friend from Germany was dead. But just a few weeks ago, there she was in the flesh, standing in a St. Petersburg, Fla., hotel room.

The last time Grebenschikoff saw Ana María Wahrenberg was in the spring of 1939, when they were 9 years old. They shared a tearful hug in a Berlin schoolyard before their families were forced to flee the country and the Nazis on the cusp of World War II.

They both thought that would be their final hug. But on Nov. 5, after more than eight decades apart, the two women — now 91 years old — embraced once again.

Perfect. Look at the picture of these two as kids!

Here's an interview with Grebenschikoff on what it was like growing up under the Nazi regime.

To be hated by German children, and then to be forced into the brutalities of an internment camp in China is no joke.

Losing your best friend on top of that? Heartbreaking.

As Tolkien put it, however, "deep roots are not reached by the frost."

Or as Wahrenberg it:

"It was very special that two people, after 82 years, still love one another."

I'm not crying over here, you're crying over there!
