One of my good friends just welcomed two twin bundles of joy into this world about two and half weeks ago. She had a boy, Henry, and girl Piper! I have seen the most adorable photos of her two babies…the interesting thing is that they are always cuddling! Her sister assured me that they were not ‘placed’ that way for the photo, and that they naturally always tend to cuddle one another and face one another in the crib. They even escape their swaddles to be near one another and have a very strong bond. The sweet connection and incredible images amazed me and I wondered, is there a special connection between twins? Is it a myth or reality? In my opinion, it is a reality. There are tons of twins on my mother and father’s side of the family – I always say there is a strong chance that I might have twins. So I explored this notion…

I guess my sister and I are like the babies you mentioned… when we were younger ( my mom told me this ) whenever my sister had a shot done, while i was on another room at the precise moment the needle went in i would start screaming or crying, while she felt nothing at all. Some years later she would cry, while i started laughin while getting my shots, again in different rooms. As we got older it was like “sister what´s wrong?” the moment she walked in. When i´m worried or frustrated, she sends me text messages asking me if everything is ok, while having no idea about anything i´m doing… now that we are both 19, the only kind of telepathy we still have is being able to finish each other´s sentences…By the way we also slept looking at each other when we were babies.
Alexander,
That is so amazing to have that connection with someone though I’m sure there were moments it wasn’t so great (like when she was getting the shot). 🙂
