36/365 Aileen

Friend of my heart, sister in blood and soul; our 15-month gap allowed us to claim twin-ship, despite her blue-eyed blondeness, my brown-eyed brunette state. Often we hum the same tune, pick out the same book or shoes; linked in all the ways that matter. She gathers me.

I like "she gathers me".

Almost, but not quite what we Americans-of-Irish-Descent call "Irish Twins". Siblings that are one year or less apart.

I have a pair of brothers like you and Aileen. (17 months) so I can imagine the wonderfulness of your relationship. LUCKY!

Well... I can't claim that "she gathers me", nor the "friend of my heart". They both come from a quote of Alice Walker that we both love. It describes so well the feeling, though, that I chose to borrow it.
