CLIVE, Iowa —

Avery Bral was 3-years-old in 2014 when we first met her.

The little girl from Clive had typical 3-year-old tendencies. Her best friend was Lamby, her stuffed sheep. She danced a lot, even when there wasn't music, and she loved her dolls.

She also loved Vice President Joe Biden.

"I just do," Avery said.

Erica Bral, Avery鈥檚 mother, said she didn't know where the connection came from. She said Avery saw the vice president on TV several months ago and asked her dad who it was. A month later, Avery's parents heard her having a conversation on her toy phone. They asked who she was talking to and she said Joe Biden.

"From then on for the next couple months, every time she was on her phone it was Joe Biden," Erica Bral said.

Avery's grandmother, Becky Burke, posted a message on Joe Biden's White House website telling him about his young fan. She never gave it a second thought until her phone rang.

"He said 'This is Joe Biden' and I said, 'Who the hell is this?鈥� And he said, 'This is Joe Biden,' and I said, 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I said that to you," Burke said.

Biden told Burke he saw her note on his desk and thought he'd call. During a five-minute conversation they talked family and politics. Burke said Biden told a few stories about his grandchildren.

"He apologized for taking up my time and I said, 鈥極h it's OK, it's OK,鈥�" Burke said.

Biden followed up with a letter to Avery. And the pair were able to meet in person in 2015.
