I have an identical twin sister and my mother was a triple. So, as you can imagine when I was pregnant, I had a real fear that I would have twins. Mother always said it was just as easy to raise twins as it was single birth children. She said you never had to find a playmate and never had "Nobody to talk to." You always someone to share with. My mother and her sister were identical and then they had a brother which was fraternal. He died when he was six months old, so I didn't have anything but a baby picture of him.
I do believe what they say about twins having a close bond. There are times that I can just feel that she needs me. I can call her and she will say that she was about to call me. Or maybe she will say she was just thinking about me. My mother was the same with her sister. But my sister is a part of me, and if anything ever happened to her, I just know the world will stop. I asked mother about that feeling when her sister and her comment was that she will see her again in Heaven. That she is still with her everyday.
I always wanted to have twins. I even asked the doctor (30 years ago) if he would give me medicine to help me have twins. He said no! So now I have "two - only - children". They are 12 years apart.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember from last week, but I think you have a new design on your blog. I'm glad that you are playing with different designs. That's one of the fun things about blogs. You can experiment with it, add, delete, and change it any time you want. I think I would downsize the picture at the top of the blog. It is a GREAT picture, but I think it may be a little too big for the blog. You probably want your readers to see the title of your most recent post when they open your blog. I like your title in the upper left margin of your blog. Just play with it and see what happens.
You know one thing that I find really funny is when someone ask "How does it feel to be a twin?" And my comeback is how does it feel to be a single. They do not realize that is all I know.
