I never thought I'd say this, but Pearle Vision, you just broke my damn heart. I didn't think my emotional downfall would come from an advertisement for glasses, but alas, here we are.

In this sweet video, a boy named Ben wears a large pair of glasses that he seems a little self-conscious about . . . until you reach the plot twist. To be fair, we figured out what was likely going to happen within the first 20 seconds or so, but it didn't hit us any less hard when the heartbreaking (yet heartwarming) twist was revealed.

Prepare to go through an entire box of tissues watching this.
