Ruth Evelyn Pranke, a three-year-old armless girl, drove six hours to embrace an armless pilot, Jessica Cox. The inspiring photo which was taken at the time proves that the world does not need arms to express emotions and go in for a hug.

"It was amazing, I'm just grateful that we had the opportunity to show everyone that it doesn't matter if you have arms or not, that you can do the same things as everyone else — you just may have to do it a little differently," said Karlyn Pranke of St Paul, mother of RE Pranke to ABC News.

During her 20th week of pregnancy Karlyn Pranke came to know that her daughter will be born without arms. Ever since then, the mother wanted her daughter to meet motivational speaker Cox.
