They say that it takes a village to raise a child, but from the child's perspective, that comes down to all the people who make them feel the most special.
Whether it's a favorite teacher, a somewhat distant relative, or a family friend, a lot of us can remember someone beyond our immediate family who still kind of felt like they were part of it.
And as one Disneyland cast member recently found out, when you keep bringing smiles to a child's face, they won't forget it.
According to a Facebook post, she was two-years-old at the time.
Clearly, her family noticed the trip made an impression on her because it wasn't long before she came back.
Even though she must see hundreds of kids every day, Snow White actually recognized her and remembered her name.
Even more adorably, she always remembered Amber on every occasion she visited until she turned 15.
But even though Amber didn't see the woman who played Snow White, she was apparently still on her mind.
After all, she eventually learned the cast member was now working as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother.
As Amber said in her post, "She made my Disney childhood so incredibly magical."
Since recognizing Amber after so long would have been a Herculean feat, Amber brought a photo album to help jog her memory.
As Amber put it, "Today I tracked her down & got to hug her neck. Best day ever!!"
Well, it's good to know the reunion was as happy as it looked.
And from the looks of things in this photo, she wasn't the only one to turn on the waterworks. It must have felt so special to know that her kindness stayed with Amber all her life.
