My 15 years old twins quarrel and call each other all sorts of nasty names all day long, but they love each other, share secrets about "who loves who", and backup each other in times of need, though sometimes they forget to coordinate their versions. When they were about 4-5 years old, my daughter got sick and stayed home. I took her twin brother to the kindergarten, but the minute he arrived he started to cry, and wanted to go back home. I left him there in spite of his crying and went to work. After a while, the kindergarten teacher called me and said that she couldn't stand his sadness anymore, nor could she calm him down, and asked me to come and take him home. When I arrived to the kindergarten, my son rushed to me with tears in his eyes, and begged me to take him home, since he couldn't stay at the kindergarten, while his sister was sick at home. Though my twins are a boy and a girl, only at the age of 13 they have agreed to sleep in separate rooms. They fight and quarrel like cat and dog, but they have a deep bond, which often comes out in the open. When one feels down, the other one cheers him or her up. When one needs help, the other jumps to give a hand, and when my daughter invites her girlfriends to our house, my son graciously prepares a special meal for them. This, I suspect involves some puppy love to one of my daughter's girlfriends. While writing this article, my son returned from a football match, in which his favorite team has won. When he saw his sister he started talking to her enthusiastically about the football match, going into detail, and even though those details didn't interest her a bit, she listened to him patiently, and even tried to show some interest. I call this love. This article "The Deep Bond Between My Twins" was written by Clara Ari. |
