Seeing You
Throughout our years growing up as brothers... we most often would forget we were twins.
Many times I would see a reflection of myself in a glass door, store window and quickly turn around looking for Bob... we later discovered it was an experience shared by identical twins.
This sensation disappeared when you died...and like a miracle it has come back, thank you Bob.
I see you every day, not only in glass doors and windows... but in my mirror every morning when I wake up and every evening when I go to bed.
You will live in me forever.
Christmas Day 2017... our last supper... last time together
I adored playing golf with my brother.
He died before they arrived. I didn’t feel like playing much golf that season….
However later that summer, one early morning, I drove to my local golf course to pick up a golf game… brought these golf balls and added one of Bobs’ golf clubs to my set of clubs.
Met a group of 3 golfers on the first tee, they were waiting for their fourth to show up…I suggested that the 3 play up, and I would wait and join their friend now arriving (late) in the parking lot.
Strangely enough his name was Bob, about my age.
So, we played together, we had a wonderful time, playing as a twosome, we passed his friends, continuing to challenging each other to play a little better while having fun conversations during the 4-hour match. Bob and I had a wonderful time.
It was only after the game while continuing to share stories I discovered… he was an identical twin as well.
As his friends arrived, wanting to head home … We just smiled and nodded to each other (silently knowing something special had happen)… we have not met again.
