With all the bad news that's constantly being thrown at us, I think it's important to remember that GOOD things are still happening every day. For example, two sisters who were separated in childhood have been reunited after 53 years apart, and it was all because of Coronavirus!
Doris Crippen and Bev Boro had searched for each other for years. It just so happened that they reconnected at a Nebraska rehabilitation center; Bev worked the floor that day at Dunklau Gardens dispensing medications, and Doris was a resident recovering from a COVID-19 infection.
Bev recalled their coincidental reunion: “When I saw Doris’s name on the patient board, I was so nervous. My heart was racing.”
They have the same father, Wendall Huffman, who was married three times and had 10 children. Doris at age 73 is the oldest while Bev is the youngest. She entered the foster care system and eventually was adopted.
Looking back, Doris believes catching the coronavirus was a blessing. "I am the happiest person in the world. I cannot believe I finally found my sister.”
Wow! So happy for these two ladies!
