a couple of nights ago i watched a show on conjoined twins. as a twin, such docos draw me in. i cried as one twin died so the other might live.
what really struck me was that once they were separated they had to put a mirror next to each baby because otherwise they fretted - life had always been lived with this other. hey my twin i miss you! you were there before birth even. still not used to you being interstate even -is it 8 years? later.

I cried too - for the mothers. I can understand how heartbreaking it must be to face having to say goodbye to one while celebrating the survival of the other. How difficult must it be for the surviving twin?
