Two long-lost sisters have been reunited after one was stricken with COVID-19 and moved to a rehab facility where the other one happened to work.

COVID-19 is not at all that 100% bad after all. Who would have thought that it would pave the way for long lost sisters to reunite when all else seem hopeless. 

According to a CNN report, Crippen said was sent to the emergency room as what she thought was a "flu" made her weak at the point of falling and breaking her arm. Crippen was confirmed to have coronavirus and spent almost 30 days in the hospital for her recovery. 

To get rehab on her arm, Doris Crippen needed to go to Fremont Methodist Health's Dunklau after her released as COVID-19 patient. 

Little did Crippen know she would encounter a pleasant surprise. Crippen needed to rehab her arm at the same hospital where Bev Boro has been a medication aide there for twenty-two years. Boro came across Crippen's name on a patient board and recognized it. "I couldn't believe it," Boro said in a news conference on July 22. "I thought, 'Oh my God, I think this is my sister,'" she added.

Doris Crippen and Bev Boro are sisters to their father and have different mothers. When Boro was a baby, she hadn't seen her sister in 53 years. Boro and four of their 14 siblings were put up for adoption and separated by the state when she was six-months-old while Crippen lived with her mother and step-father, as per Washington report. 

To surprise Crippen of the incredible discovery, Bev wrote their father's name, Wendall Huffman, on a whiteboard and mimicked rocking a baby. Boro recalled that she pointed at herself for Crippen to know because Crippen has a problem with hearing.

"She goes, 'That's my daddy.' And I pointed at myself, knowing she's hard of hearing, going, 'That's mine, too,'" Boro said. "She looked at me like, 'What?' And because of the eyes, I have our daddy's eyes."

Crippen became emotional and then realized that she'd finally found her sister after searching for several years. Doris burst into tears and told KETV that she nearly fell out of her chair. "I couldn't sleep that night; I was just so happy," Crippen said.

According to MSN, Doris tried to find her siblings several times over the years, but she failed. "It's amazing! Overwhelming, after so many years. I never thought I'd find her again," Crippen said. "It was the Lord's blessing that I got sent here, to the rehab center, because if I hadn't been sent here, I wouldn't have found her," Doris said.

On the other hand, Bev Boro tracked most of their siblings, and now she gets to reunite with Doris Crippen with the family members, which Doris thought she had lost. 

According to PEOPLE, the sisters' joyful reunion on June 27 continued when Boro introduced Crippen to their four other siblings whom Boro connected through Facebook.

Crippen and Boro are planning to have a family reunion that includes their kids and grandchildren. Crippen expressed to KETV the wonderful feeling that the journey is over, and they don't have to search for each other anymore.
