[hometext] => Finally releasing feelings after losing my twin sister at birth, 34 years ago.
[bodytext] => Nine months we spent together. The same blood running through our veins. The same genes identifying us both individually and identically. You didn't make it through it, I was told. I was the lucky one. Lucky? How could anyone call me lucky when a piece of me is gone? I have searched this earth high and low. Searching, constantly searching. Seeking you in every face I see, in every voice I hear. Wanting to find you in every job I've held, in every relationship I've journeyd into, in everything I've ever done. Reaching far down into the depths of my soul. Constantly wondering, wishing, hoping. Only recently have I discovered that you were the piece of me that has been missing. Just now I have learned that the two sides of me can only be explained by you. The good, the bad. The naughty, the nice. The crazy, the calm. The storm, the sun. Always the silence in the family, the name never spoken. Now I speak it as I search for answers. Who am I without you. What am I without you? How have I survived without you? How do I explain the pain, the loneliness, the emptiness. How do I explain what it's like to be a twinless twin?
