To my best friend, my twin,
Thank you for being my other half. All the way from the womb. You have always been here for me and always will be. The cool thing about being a twin is that I have known you 9 months before I have known anyone else. You lived with me before anyone, and I feel like that does give us the special connection that everyone jokes about.
"I've always wanted to be a twin!" This is something that people always say when I mention that I have a twin. You know what? Of course you want a twin! I couldn't imagine living without someone always there right by my side; someone to start school with, to sit with at lunch. It's hard for me to imagine what it would be like if I didn't have my twin.
Going through elementary school, middle school, and high school I've always lost friends. Little fights about boys or even something as little as who's favorite color is the best has broken apart friendships through those years. Best friends change so many times through those years, I went through so many! Or did I?
Truth be told, my twin has been and always will be my best friend. She goes with me nearly everywhere and we got to experience our firsts together. Walking for the first time, talking, and even driving. We have done it all together. I have someone who isn't afraid to tell me when I mess up in order for me to make it better. I have someone who will answer my calls at 3 in the morning if I'm sad. It's hard for us to go a weekend without each other and if we have to, we're constantly talking on the phone.
"Do you guys read each other's minds?" is another thing that we are commonly asked. There's no science behind it, but we have definitely been able to think the same things. We don't need to discuss something for us to read each other. I'm convinced that we made a language in the womb. We can count down 3..2..1... and say the same thing. We can feel each other's hurt and physical pain.
There are times that I've wondered what it would be like if I didn't have a twin; what it would be like to live life being the only Framness in my grade. When I think about this, it makes me sad for everyone who isn't a twin. I can't imagine living without that person who is like a shadow.
I have someone who will be my Maid of Honor. I have someone who will always motivate me to be a better person. Being a twin is a lifelong adventure that is better than anything I could have ever imagined.
Sadie, thanks for being my other half. God really blessed me when he cloned me in the womb!
