Sometimes...at the strangest moments...I miss my twin. We shared our mother's womb for half a breath...a blink of an eye...a skip of a heartbeat. But there were two of us. I know. I feel it. And even tho only I was present on our birth day, only I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, you'd started the journey with me.
Where are you, my cosmic twin? Is there a special place in heaven for unborn babies? Those who have such a short beginning and for whatever reasons are ended before they're finished? Will you be there to welcome me someday? Will I know you when I see you?
My song is a lonely one. And, at moments like this, I cry for you.

So poignant, Kris. A beautiful lament for someone you sensed, but never really got to know.
Condolences. And courage, offered.
You had a twin? I didn´t know that. I feel the same way when I think of the baby I miscarried. Sometimes I wonder, will we see each other in heaven?

Visiting from Never Growing Old; this was very touching - short, sweet and to the point. I know your twin is awaiting you in heaven!
Perhaps instead of waiting for the unknown for the glimpse of that being, you could see that life form in a flower, a bird, a tree, the foam on an ocean wave, the truest vision of love.....
I have been away from Reader and my blogs for a month or more. This post was the first I happened on while trying to catch up. So lovely. You must occasionally have 'what ifs' about who she might have been. Thanks for sharing such personal feelings.
I can't imagaine what our awsome God has in store for us! Reintroduction to loved ones...I hope so, because we'll all be perfect then. I hope.
What a great post, saw you on FF/40

Oh.... this is so sad.... i cannot even imagine how things would have been for you and your family back then... but i think there will be a special place for them....
I can only imagine all the "what ifs". I lost a baby at birth and I often wonder what might have been and if I'll ever have a chance to know her. I imagine those feelings would be intensified when thinking about a twin.
I lost my twin at birth too. She died 3 hours after the birth. Today i'm 20 years old and often thinks of how she would look like, or what it would be to grow up togehter.

I don't know if you'll ever see this, Girl from Norway...but thank you for your comment. Being a "Lost Twin" is like looking in a mirror and seeing no reflection looking back at you. Thank you.
