Mom's a Twin
My mom's a twin. Her sister Fran committed suicide in October my first year in college. When I get a bit down I 'speak' with Fran and ask her to help me get through it. She does. Mom told me it was because of a fella she pulled the trigger. I think it was because the culture made her feel like crap 'cause she wasn't married, though I didn't always think that. I also hear she was doing daytime uppers and nightime downers. She worked for a doctor who kept her in both.
Mom still misses her in a cellular way.

Did you know Andreas is a fraternal twin? He's one minute older. They don't seem to have the stereotypical twin bond, feeling each other, best friends. I always wanted a twin, but when I told my mom, she said, "Too late."
ReplyDeleteMy mom had all the stereotypical twin stuff going on, including buying the same clothes 1200 miles apart. It goes deep for her.
