It Took Me 67 Years to Find My Sister- My Story

On a sleepless autumn night, 80-year-old Judy sat in her son’s kitchen, haunted by dreams of her sister May, from whom she had been separated 67 years earlier. Adopted by a loving family, Judy had built a full life, but the ache of missing May never faded. Despite years of searching—through letters, records, and DNA tests—May remained elusive. One night, Judy’s grandson Peter suggested they search on Facebook. Though skeptical, Judy agreed. After hours of searching without success, a message arrived from Dr. Smith, a doctor at the maternity hospital where the sisters were born: “Call me. I think we’ve found her.”

Heart pounding, Judy called and learned that May had recently visited the hospital, looking for her. With an address in hand, Judy and Peter set off, their hope renewed.
They arrived at a modest house with a garden full of sunflowers—May’s childhood favorite. When the door opened, Judy saw May standing there, tears in her eyes. The two sisters embraced, overwhelmed by the weight of lost time and unspoken love.

Over the following weeks, Judy and May rebuilt their bond, sharing memories, laughter, and the pain of their long separation. Judy quickly became part of May’s family, attending gatherings and feeling truly at home for the first time in decades. They even began planning a long-dreamed-of trip to Europe together, determined to make the most of the time they had left.

Though they couldn’t change the past, Judy and May embraced the future with open hearts. After years of searching and sorrow, Judy finally found peace—in the arms of the sister she never stopped loving.
