We’ll spare you the OTT platitudes about Beyoncé, ’cause quite frankly, this kind of deal speaks for itself.

The undisputed pop queen fielded a sincerely beaut Facetime convo with Ebony Banks, a Houston high school student and Bey-fan battling Stage 4 of a rare form of cancer, after her friends sparked the huge #EbobMeetsBeyonce campaign on social media.

(Ebob is her bona fide nickname, which makes this whole story that much better.)

Banks’ mates tried flinging that Twitter hashtag in the direction of The Ellen Show, which makes a lotta sense, but it in the end it was Mrs. Carter-Knowles herself who caught the message.

Now, footage released by Banks’ family shows Beyoncé tellin’ new pal Banks “I love you,” and liberally flashing that all-welcoming smile.

If that wasn’t enough to make you feel just a little bit of something, you may appreciate the knowledge that her school threw her an early graduation ceremony at The University Of Texas’ top notch MD Anderson Cancer Center ahead of the blessed call.
