She has brought countless viewers to tears as she features family being reunited, or when a guest shares his or her battles with cancer and other terminal diseases. She has also made them laugh for bringing their favorite stars and personalities on the show, including US President Barack Obama.

This time, it was the Queen of Talk Show Oprah Winfrey’s turn to share her own story that have equally made her cry and smile at the same time, as she was shown reunited to a half-sister she said, she never knew she had’. Millions of viewers joined Oprah as she welcomed in her show Monday her sister, Patricia.

As The Australian put it, it was the kind of ‘heart-rending family reunion’ on which Oprah built her television career’.

"I thought I'd seen it all. But this, my friends, is the miracle of all miracles," Winfrey was quoted as saying by The Guardian said in a teaser promoting the upcoming reunion.

Oprah recalled her reaction when told of Patricia’s existence, who as it turned out has been living for only one hour and half away.

Oprah continued, according to The Guardian, "I was given some news that literally shook me to my core. This time, I'm the one being reunited".

The Australian described the host as ‘emotional’ as she introduced Patricia to the public for the first time. It was not the first time however, for the siblings to be together.

As explained by Oprah, she met with her sister during Thanksgiving last year. Patricia, she reiterated has been searching for her birth family for years that led to their much-awaited reunion.

It was during their first meeting said Oprah when she knew that her birth-mother, Venrita Lee, gave up Patricia for adoption. The media giant’s newly found sister claimed that she decided to search for her family when strongly suggested by her own daughter.

Patricia admitted she had long suspected that she is related to America’s Queen of Talk but noted she chose to tell her popular sister about it, emphasizing that she never did even consider capitalizing on what she found out.

Her discovery, according to the Guardian, came when the adoption papers matched-up with the events of Oprah’s well-documented life.
