Ms Shively recorded a video of Barbara and Shirley talking before bedtime. She wanted to preserve these memories.
The bond between siblings is a unique and special relationship that is often one of the longest-lasting connections in a person's life. Siblings share a common upbringing, family history, and genetic heritage, which can create a deep and lasting bond.
Demonstrating the truth of these sentiments, a 94-year-old woman hailing from New Hampshire embarked on a cross-country journey to reunite with her 90-year-old sister, possibly for the final time. What was originally meant to be a private farewell video for their family has touched the hearts of countless internet users as it has gone viral.
According to the New York Post, Barbara's granddaughter, Stephanie Atkinson Shively, accompanied her "Gigi" on the arduous 2,700-mile journey from New Hampshire to Nevada. Shively, 47, said it's unlikely the pair will see each other in person again due to their advanced age and the difficulties of travel.
