Girl Grows Up Unaware Of Her Sibling’s Existence Who Turns Out To Be An Academy Award Winner

The Meeting Of A Lifetime

It was on Thanksgiving that Patricia and Oprah both were invited by their mother at her place in Milwaukee. Patricia was so excited to meet her sister that she was at the venue before time. The moment Oprah saw Patricia, she said: “You look just like Pat!” Pat was her sister who passed away. The sisters were hugging each other. The two still had so much more to be clarified.

A Lifetime To Discuss

That Thanksgiving afternoon passed like seconds. They were trying to know each other and how life has been so far. “It was a Beloved moment,” Oprah, later on, remembered in an interview. Oprah was so proud of the fact that her sister made a whole lot of efforts to meet her. And then Oprah decided to bring her long-lost sister in front of the world.

A Grandiose Introduction

After a few months of their first meeting, Oprah took the big step to tell the world about her new sister. She invited Patricia at “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and the sisters and Vernita Lee shared the whole story with the audience. This wasn’t all, Oprah had more in the box for her sister.

What Did Patricia Do?

Yes, Oprah is a big-time star but Patricia’s motive was just to get reunited with her sister. She didn’t want her fame, luxury or any privileges. Getting her sister and mother back was enough for her. No doubt that this pure soul won Oprah’s heart.

A Loyal Sister

“There have been few times I’ve been anywhere and I haven’t been sold out. There have been few times where you can bring anyone new into your life and not have that person in some way betray you or use you or take advantage of you,” said Oprah. She was overwhelmed with all this story. But why did her mother lied to her?

Why The Lies?

Vernita Lee kept Patricia a secret throughout her life. Nobody knew that she gave birth to her and then gave her for adoption. What made her keep it all a secret for so long? When the truth was revealed it just brought tears to everybody’s eyes.
