At her Quinceañera, Monique Salinas was reunited with her late brother in a unique way when her family surprised her by inviting the girl who was given her brother's heart after his death 10 years prior.

The emotional video documents the coming-of-age celebration for Salinas, but also shares the heart warming moment between Salinas and Aubrey Reeves, who is alive today because of the heart transplant that forever bonded her with the Salinas family.

Salinas' younger brother Mikey died in a car accident as a kid. Around the time of Mikey's death, Reeves was in the hospital suffering from a rare congenital heart disease. She had two previous heart transplants that her body rejected, so her chances of survival were slim. The possibility of finding a match was not likely given her medical history. Mikey Salinas' heart and kidney, however, were a perfect match.

Monique Salinas was left speechless when she found out Reeves was present at her birthday party. She immediately broke down in tears, along with several members of the Salinas family, when she saw the heart recipient.

"Meeting Aubrey was like no other surprise," Salinas said. "It was a very special and amazing gift that no one else could give me. I knew I couldn't have my brother there physically, but I had Aubrey, and he was there in her."

The meeting has now led to a friendship between the girls, who share a bond through Salinas' brother.
