Being a twin

I was listening to a discussion on the radio about twins and whether they are generally closer than other siblings. Obviously that depends on the twins themselves, but I love being a twin, and have a bond with my twin sister that I just don’t have with my other siblings, much as I love them all. Being a twin means having a ready-made best friend from birth, having someone to share the highs and lows of growing up. I love sharing birthdays and always try to make sure we can celebrate together – particularly this year as we’ll both be 30.
