These two pen pals have been great friends since they were kids, but now, after finally meeting each other for the first time in 38 years, they're closer than ever.

Beth Graham and Sandi Fisher first discovered their friendship in the 5th grade when they both replied to the old children's television show Big Blue Marble to request a pen pal. They've had a few brief phone conversations in the past but long-distance calls were too expensive for chatting.

Over the years, their friendship has evolved to include emailing and Facebook messaging. Then came the day when Sandi was visiting Pennsylvania from Colorado and the two finally came together face to face after almost four decades.

It was bliss.

"You're shorter than I imagined!" says a joyful Beth through tears.
