I Will See Folashade Again!

Joan Woodward writer of the The Lone Twin seeks to explain some of my experiences in this way:

"The adult lone twin has had all the 'ups and downs' of an actual relationship and is facing the end of a long attachment. the process of adjustment to this ending can sometimes be long-lasting and very difficult."

However, I choose to reflect on words below which are not mine but from the same book and I entirely subscribe to them:

"As a committed Christian, I accept the Gospel accounts of the resurrection and hold on to Jesus' promise about the gift of eternal life. If for a moment I thought that death is merely THE END, I would truly despair. I believe passionately that love continues beyond death and that life does not end when the body dies."

I am convinced that one day I will be reunited with my twin and this means I have something to look forward to. I celebrate what was and rejoice in what will be and for the moment I will choose to trust and be patient.

I want my story to be not of desolation and hopelessness but of my struggle to find a way to survive well, without my twin (Folashade) but yet triumphing!
