After 36 Years Sisters Meet _ BYUtv

How are we related? I'm your sister. I'm so excited for you. Thank you for having me. Of course. I'm so happy. I can't believe you're so tall. I know I'm really really tall. I'm a short sister, Dan. Yes. Look at her. You're so tall. I'm the smallest in my whole family. Now you have a tall sister. That's great. I'm so happy. I was picturing you like... You were the person that I was looking forward to meeting the most. I'm so excited. How has it been? It's been a good day. It's been a really good day for us. The connection I was looking for with a sister was just someone I could laugh with and talk with and just enjoy. And I think that the second that we met each other, it was that. It was everything I wanted and more. Your name was one of the first ones that I saw that didn't match what I was looking for. That's so funny. I did that one time and then I just never even really go on there. So it's so funny that you saw me. When it popped up, it popped up with Destiny and I didn't know who you were. And it was one of the reasons I wanted to do this show. I wanted to figure it out because you were on the same plane as my brother as far as genetically. And so you could only be my aunt, my grandma, or my sister. And I didn't think you were either one of those. So... That's so crazy. I'm so excited. Dan, I have a sister. I have a sister. I'm surrounded by boys in my family. She has three sons and a husband. Oh man, too many boys. We're gonna have so much fun. I'm so excited. I'm so excited for you. Thank you. She's so short. Meeting her and seeing her for the first time feels very much like I've known her my whole life already. Like it's very comforting and exciting and I can't wait to get to know all about her life and share mine as well. Having a sister is everything that I've ever wanted. Growing up, she's the one thing that I dreamed about. She's the one thing that I wished for and prayed for and I never got. And to have her today just means everything to me. Wow, this is exciting. This is very exciting. So did you guys know about me at all? No, we did not. We found out about you a few months ago. How did you feel? I'm excited. So I've always wanted to have a sister and I never did. And so I think it was a lot of emotions kind of at first. And I was with my mom when I found out and we were just kind of like talking about that. And I think overall just super, super excited. I'm so happy that I can finally meet you. It's great. Then I have some pictures too to share with you. I would love to see pictures. I have this one here. So it's kind of, you know, blurry. So I was in the Navy for 11 years. I was a helicopter mechanic actually. And this was probably like my second or third year in. So I'm like just a little third class petty officer. She let us know that she worked on helicopters in the Navy and she shared with us some pictures of her during that time. It was really cool to see her on top of the helicopters. And she shared with me that I have a niece named Kennedy and I'm so excited to meet her. And she's three days younger than my youngest son. So I'm so excited for them to get together and see what that means for cousin time. I think this is absolutely amazing. I'm really excited not only to meet my niece but to also have all of this girly energy around. I haven't had it for a really long time and it's something I've really been looking for. So I can't wait to meet her and do all the fun things that she loves to do together and just spend more time with you guys. She's gonna love it. She's so excited. Can I give you a hug? I'm so excited. I wish that we could roll back the clocks to when we were younger and build a relationship then. We missed out on 33 years together and laughs and talks and boys and we were pregnant at the same time. And I went through that alone and I could have gone through that with my sister. And it's kind of bittersweet. It's bittersweet to meet her because I'm so excited for the future. I'm so excited for what this means for us. But I'm also really sad that I missed out on on 30 years of her life. And I just can't wait for what this means after the show for us.
