I don’t know the answer to that question since my sister has been in my life ever since I was 10 months old. Yes, we are Irish twins and we have been the same age for two months out of every year for decades. Today is her birthday, and I will gleefully kid her that she is as old as I am, at least temporarily.
The photo of us above and below hopefully conveys what is true: we were two peas in our little pod of a world and inseparable as children.
We are still close as adults. We may not see each other as much as we would like, but we both know we are there for each other whenever we need. I cannot imagine life without her.
She’s going through a hard time right now. I can’t tell you why but say a prayer for her, would you?
You’ve got the prayer, Kim! Happy Birthday to your sister!
I’ll say a prayer for your sister. Let her know there are people in the universe pulling for her. Go Kim’s sister, go!
My mom had me in August, then my sister was born about 13 months later in October. After that, my other sister was born in March, less that two years later. From the first to the third was 29 months. The doctor asked my mom if she knew how to prevent pregnancies, and she was promptly fitted with a diaphragm! My brother came a few years later, and 14 years to the day after I was born, the last child (a boy) was born. My cake got baked, but it never got iced. I used to be close to the sister born right after me, but we’ve drifted. My other sister died a few years ago.
Sending positive energy to your sister, and I hope her tough time will soon pass.
