And another Song Around the World.  I love the white-haired lady dancing right at the beginning - hope I'll still be moving when I'm her age!

Just have to post this, though in snippets due to copyright restrictions.  Or maybe this link will work for you to read the whole article.
A woman was hospitalized with covid-19. One of her aides turned out to be her long-lost sister.

It was a regular day at the Nebraska rehabilitation center last month when Bev Boro, a medication aide, looked over her patient list. Suddenly, a name on the list stopped her cold: Doris Crippen. “I kept saying, ‘Oh my God,’” said Boro, 53. “That must be her.” She had not seen her older sister in more than 50 years, though the two had long been searching for each other.   ...

Boro and Crippen share the same father but were born to different mothers. Their father had been married three times and had 10 children. Crippen is the oldest and Boro is the youngest. ...  When Boro was less than 6 months old, the state of Nebraska deemed her parents unfit to care for her and her three siblings, who subsequently entered the foster care system and were separately put up for adoption. Both women grew up in Nebraska and knew each other’s names. They spent years searching for each other, but never had any luck until now.  ...

“I never thought I’d find her,” Crippen said. “I couldn’t sleep that night; I was just so happy.”   ...

The sisters’ reunion has also brought much-needed hope and joy to the hospital staff during what has been a particularly dark period for health-care workers.“I tear up every time I hear the story,” said Jayma Brown, director of nursing at Dunklau Gardens. “In the height of the pandemic, it’s just an amazing story.”
