Philadelphia sister meets brother for first time

SOUTHWEST PHILADELPHIA - May 8, 2010

Action News was at Philadelphia International Airport late Friday night, as Ta Ronne Bryan met his sister Phylicia for the first time.

He's 22 and lives in Tacoma, Washington. Phylicia is 21.

She graduates from Community College of Philadelphia today.

Their mom, Myra, orchestrated the reunion as a graduation present.

She e-mailed one of Ta Ronne's friends and that friend got Ta Ronne in contact with his sister on MySpace.

But, the meeting was a surprise for Phylicia. Her mom told her that her cousin was coming into town. Phylicia broke down when Ta Ronne arrived instead.

We have yet to confirm how these two got separated.

Regardless, Mom says seeing them together is the best Mother's Day present she ever received.
