With admiration full, moments of love never dull, being a twin is a bond beyond compare.
If I could only use 3 words to describe my sister it would be beautiful, devoted, and generous. She embodied all that I was not. She wore her heart on her sleeve and loved all unconditionally. She was completely devoted to my children, Jenny and Sam, loving them as her own. Were I have always been the “leader of the pack” protecting the both of us from all harm; being open and accepting of her emotions were second nature to Kathy.
To know a twin is to love one soul in two bodies. We share everything! The bond of sisters can be such a defining part of one’s life, as I’ve witnessed with my own girls, but nothing can compare to the bond that a set of twins share. It’s so much more then looking identical, or sharing DNA, but an unspoken, unspoiled, and unconditional bond. Kathy was my everything as I was hers. From the very beginning she was the center of my universe. Mom would often say she had 5 kids and twins, as we were one. We were attached at the hip doing all and everything together. From picking on our younger brother Ralph, plotting and scheming ways to get rid of him. Nevertheless, our failed efforts prevailed and we grew to love and adore him as our own baby. Modeling in fashion shows in Winter Park, taking dance together (and to our mother’s dismay we weren’t interested in), to being known in the Winter Park/Maitland area as “The Baker Twins” again as one. We even shared our first wedding together.
I truly believe God know we would bring more love, joy, laughs, and memories as two people with one soul instead of one, so he made us twins. I love you like crazy and will miss you every single second of every single day until the day comes that we will be together again. But I wouldn’t change one thing that transpired over the past 62 years. Time, distance, words, and people can never break the love we share between each other. I vow to live out the rest of my life honoring you and all that you were.
Until we meet again......
Julie
