"This reunion was three years in the making," shared Stephanie Shively, Barbara's granddaughter.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barbara had been unable to see her beloved sister since 2020. However, she remained determined to make one last trip all the way to Nevada.

Stephanie accompanied Barbara on this sentimental journey and documented the heartfelt goodbye.

The night before departure, she recorded an emotional conversation before bed in which Shirley implored, "Don't say goodbye!" Barbara reassured her, "I'm not going to! There's no way I'm going to say goodbye to you."

Stephanie initially posted the touching video on TikTok for the benefit of family members. However, it took the internet by storm, accumulating nearly 13 million views and counting.
