You have great answers here kea ~ be yourself! No need to pretend, or force yourself to talk. Just say 'hi' and things will flow from there. Don't forget ~ she might be nervous too, even though she is older than you. Seeing as you've already met her kids, you will definitely have something to talk about, because almost every parent loves to hear how nice their kids are, how pretty or smart, and you can always ask her to tell you all about how they are doing in school or what things they like to do.
Personally, I think you will be just fine, because you are a sweet, natural girl. I won't say 'relax' because that will be hard, but try not to be anxious. Instead, think of that nervous feeling as excitement! YAY! You will meet your sis :-)
Something may come of it and you may have a new found close sister in your life, or maybe just someone you'll always know without being close, but at least you will know there is someone else in the world that shares big parts of what makes you, you :-)
Best wishes :-)

Hey there--how are you doing?
Well, I always admit when I'm having a tough time. So, if you find yourself feeling awkwardly quiet...just look at your sis and say, "I'm so overwhelmed by meeting you and your beautiful children that I just don't know what to say."
Also, as a quiet person--the best thing to do is just ask questions--ask the children about school, what clubs they're involved in, ask your sis if she's got hobbies or about her job. Most people love to talk so it is easy just to keep the convo going with questions with out feeling as if you have to talk.
God Bless You and HUGS.

I am 17 years older than my sister. We knew about each other cuz my father kept in touch, they live in California and I live down south. She was 13 at the time and I was 30, her and my dad came to visit. She was only one year older than my oldest at the time. I reached out with open arms to her, she was shy, but she was closer to my daughter than me. Since, I am an adult, it was only natural she would be closer to the kids then to me. But, I enjoyed her visit. Like the others say just be yourself.

Tell her its a delight to find another sibling and that you hope they can develop a budding relationship as family should. . Be truthful about your feeling foremost and above all else.
