Sisters Lost to Each Other Reunited Because of Covid-19

There are a ton of sad stories and angry stories and just plain, "Knock that foolishness off!" stories, but here's a bittersweet Covid-19 Story from KLVT.

In Nebraska, Bev Boro and Doris Crippen are sisters, only they haven't seen each other for fifty years! When they were kids, the foster care system separated them, and ever since, they've been trying to find each other.

Enter Coronavirus. Doris contracted Covid-19, went to the hospital and guess who was her nurse? Right, Bev! When Bev figured it out, she use a white-board to tell Doris the news (she's hearing impaired) and then the tears came. Doris said,

"I am the happiest person in the world. I cannot believe I finally found my sister."

Just amazing.
