WARNING: The following video will make you cry.

But they will be tears of joy.

In a Facebook video that has been viewed over 11 million times, a young girl named Emma received the gift of her dreams.

Via footage shared by Courtney Fletcher Bennett, we see below that Emma opens up a present to reveal an American Girl doll.

But this is not just any American Girl doll.

The item has altered with the assistance of A Step Ahead Prosthetics. It now has a prosthetic leg … just like Emma!

Emma is seen reading a note in the video before gasping as she moves a piece of the gift box to spot the doll’s prosthetic limb.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Emma says prior to taking the doll out of the box and giving it a huge embrace.

A few moments later, we witness Emma crying tears of absolute joy as she holds her new doll up for the camera and says: “It’s got a leg like me.”

It’s okay. You can go ahead and cry yourself now. God knows we already have.

“After a few weeks of training, she is ready to go home and lead a life without limitations with you,” Emma’s mother reads from the letter.

Still bawling, Emma thanks the kind folks who made her doll.

“Thank you for making a doll like me,” she says as she holds the doll with both hands.
