Being a twin

My sister and I have been asked several times, "What is it like being a twin?" I never gave it much thought. Our response was always, "It's just like having a very close siblingg who you are with all the time." But I've given it thought, and it is much more than that!

I love being a twin. (I would even love giving birth to twins- just to witness and be a part of how that love and closeness grows over time.)

My twin sis is my best friend. I can see if something is bothering her just by looking at her face or body language or listening to the way she says something. With her, I always have someone to talk to. She understands me more than anyone on the planet. And I have a bond and love with her that is stronger than my love for my mom and the rest of my friends and family.

Every plan I make for the future includes her. She is always the first on any list that I make when I plan to do something.

My life would be a mess without her and I cannot imagine how I could live happily if I was not a twin.
