00:00Hi, guys!
00:11Jeroen!
00:11And Eric!
00:15My sister!
00:17My sister!
00:20We have the same color.
00:22What do you think? Do we look like each other?
00:25This one is in Utrecht.
00:26Yes.
00:27And in the train station.
00:29You know, I'm asking my children which one is who.
00:33It should have been in the same holidays. We saw each other twice.
00:37Oh, yes.
00:38See?
00:38Could be.
00:39Or maybe when you went back.
00:43My picture is in 2002.
00:46In August 2002.
00:48Yeah, could be.
00:49Maybe it was summer holiday.
00:53It's such a funny picture.
00:55This is me.
00:57And you're my sister.
00:59And you're my sister.
01:01For 100%.
01:02So that was an unbelievable thing.
01:05Yeah.
01:05It's like...
01:06Alive.
01:06We're looking in the mirror.
01:09Yeah.
01:10And exactly.
01:11When she's laughing, I'm laughing because it's like I'm looking at myself, but she's not
01:17with me and I'm not her.
01:19But...
01:20Yeah.
01:20I was home alone and then I got the pop-up on my phone.
01:25And it said, your results from DNA in my houses are ready.
01:29So, I opened it and then there was written, Mina, sister.
01:36And I didn't realize it was Mina that I know.
01:41It's like all those 30 years we've been apart, we've never been apart.
01:46Yeah.
01:47It's like we're picking up after that and it feels really strange but very good.
01:53It feels like home.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Yeah.
01:55It's like we don't live together.
01:57We have very different lives.
02:00But when I see you, it's like I'm home.
02:04I feel finally complete and that's the puzzle piece in my heart.
02:10And yeah, I know that it's a lot but it feels really good.
02:16Yeah.
02:17I've always been surrounded by many people who love me and who took care of me.
02:22But something inside of me, I've always felt very lonely.
02:25And yeah, I always hoped to find some biological family somewhere.
02:36And I always said, yes, I would love to see if there's my biological mother but even more brothers or
02:43sisters.
02:44So, and now this happens.
02:47So, inside it was like now I don't feel alone anymore.
02:52Sometimes you have that moment where you could have been there for each other.
02:58And that's, yeah.
03:00We can't go back, so.
03:02From this point we go forward.
03:04That's why we won't let go anymore.
