Boy Travels 12 Hours To Surprise Best Friend On Her 10th Birthday | Happily TV

  • last month
A girl who moved 12 hours away from her best friend of six years couldn’t believe her eyes when he turned up to surprise her at her 10th birthday party. Noah and Eliza, both 10, lived on the same street in Orange Park, Florida, and first met as their older siblings were friends, but soon became inseparable after growing closer in the same kindergarten class. But a year-and-a-half ago, Eliza moved to Hockessin, Delaware, and while they were able to use technology to communicate, it wasn’t the same and the pair soon found their separation difficult. Then, in early 2024, Eliza’s mom Lindsay reached out to Noah’s mom, Kristen Fluent, to ask if they would be available to attend Eliza’s birthday party. She told Kristen Noah being there would mean the world to Eliza – and all she wanted was to see him for her birthday. After coordinating the flights, the mom duo made it happen, and on June 8 Noah and Kristen made the journey while Eliza had no idea her bestie was on his way to surprise her. When they got to the house, Lindsay told Eliza to go out to grab something from the car she picked up for her birthday party with no clue Noah was waiting outside. As she stepped outside she clocked her BFF was standing there, and immediately ran towards him for a long-awaited emotional reunion hug.
