#WhatsAwesome is the moment two pen pals met each other in person for the first time after 42 years!
George Ghossn and Lori Gertz have been writing to each other since they were 15 and 12, and finally got the chance to embrace their longest-lasting friend.
The pen pals shared feelings and details about their lives in mailed notes about once a month—and they’ve both kept all the handwritten letters.
“I love George. George is a staple in my life. My whole family knows George … It’s my longest relationship that I’ve had with anybody. It’s beautiful,” Gertz said.
