Facebook post July 2, 2012. I thought of my twin sister this morning, Kelly, as I read this piece on twins who heisted a German jewelry counter and were ultimately released -- because their DNA was exact and it could not be determined which one of the two committed the crime (that's not the part that reminded me of my twin sister). What did remind me of my twin, however, is how two people can come from the same womb at virtually the same time and, regardless of the differences society dictates for them or how their paths move them in very different directions, we continue to share an unshakeable bond, though life has offered many opportunities for blender-like shake up. Thank you, Kelly, for always understanding me and for making me feel human--neither better or lesser than anybody else, and for recognizing my strengths and weaknesses with no judgement, prejudices or sympathies. :) (I love this pic of us at one year. Notice how Kelly clings to the chair, contemplating release, while I'm ready to take off like a bird…insatiably curious as to what's out there waiting to knock me off my chubby little feet). Love you, Sis! I'm glad you're you! And I'm glad I'm me!
