Twins were finally able to reunite following living 81 years apart following being separated when their parents died and only seeing each other once once more at the age of 9 .
Maurilia Chavez and Andrea Lopez, 90, met once more in December following taking a DNA test, the New York Post reported.
“It was like I was seeing her for the first time in my life because 81 years is too long. I remember her a little bit,” said Andrea Lopez.
Both women were only 5 years old when their parents died, and the family of 10 was scattered among relatives.
Ms. Lopez, who lives in Las Vegas, flew to Denver when the DNA test revealed their relationship.
“My little sister, I really wanted to see you, to have you with me, my beautiful little sister,” Ms. Lopez told her sister when they met.
“I never thought [re]see, never,” confessed Ms. Chavez.
The last time they saw each other at a family reunion, the twins were 9 years old.
During their reunion, the two women spent their time reminiscing regarding childhood memories, until Ms. Lopez returned to Nevada.
The twins have since discovered that three of their siblings are still alive and are aged 80-90.
