Years later, through the power of the internet (namely Google), the grand-children of these two friends reunite them.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a powerful ad, and shows what exactly Google does for us in our everyday lives.

It has also brought the value of connection which is strongly presented in this ad. I would highly recommend\u00a0<em>any\u00a0<\/em>person to take a look at this ad. It&#8217;s touching, isn&#8217;t trying to sell you something blatantly, and shows that we can actually be thankful to corporations for the value that they give us in our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; It&#8217;s probably been a long time since you felt like you watched something that really hit you in the gut, or that you felt the need to share.
