This is a PSA: you’re not too old to make a best friend. Just because you no longer have assigned seating in a classroom or a playground or playdates doesn’t mean you can’t find your best friend in the whole world on Twitter (we’re never calling it X) or Slack or… a hospitalization program? The point is, putting yourself out there can be embarrassing, but you never know when you’re going to stumble across the person that is going to change your life.

This is the story of two young girls whose stories intertwined during a tragic accident on October 8, 1988 … though they wouldn’t meet for decades to come. ⁠Watch us on YouTube here⁠!
