Hi and Welcome to my page which I have dedicated to my Twin Brother "Mike"...Let me tell you a little bit about Mike. We were born on the 5th February 1961. Mike was born at 5.30 am and I followed an hour later at 6.30 am. We have been very close all our lives and have worked together in the family business. Mike was a loving man and a man full of laughter..He loved to talk to people in general and I don't think he ever had an enemy that I can ever recall. He was loved by everyone so when I lost him on the 4th June 1999 I was devastated.

There really are no words to describe this loss and you would have to be a twin to understand completely how I personally feel. I know that where-ever he is, it will now be a better place for having him there and I truly hope that he is with our Dad whom we lost 21st April 1994. Mike used to call us "Womb-Mates" and I laughed at this all the time, that's the type of man he was, always full of laughter and mischief.

Wherever you are Mike I want you to know, that I love you, I Miss you and hope to one day again be with you....Your Loving Twin Sister "Jill"....

Below I have posted a poem I wrote for Mike the month he left me. It describes the feeling of a "Twinless Twin"

"Womb-Mates" For week after week we are kept warm In a tiny cocoon of love And we grow side by side together With our Mothers’ thoughts above And then when our time has come We burst into a world so vast And our bodies are finally separated We have each become one at last Though we are separate and not entangled As we grow our lives become one And we are both constant companions When all is said and done Through the years we travel together With not more than a glance away From the school fields of having fun To each others’ wedding day And as we travel along life’s journey With always a thought for the other Be it the care and concern of a sister Or the pride and strength of a brother We know that there’ll always be a bond That is different from any other Because we’ve been blessed as a two-some Sharing nine months within our Mother It’s the little things that are different That feeling of being half That only turns to whole again When we’d hear each others’ laugh That knowing look from the other When remembering a space from the past And the fun we’d had in that era Reminiscing who played in the cast So then when our lives are separated When you’re young and at your best With no understanding you leave me And my soul is put to the test For how do I become one again While you’re not at my side A piece of me has been taken An emptiness I cannot hide For now there’s no other half of me I cannot accept this and grin For God took away my partner He took away my "TWIN"

Your Twin Sister and "Womb-Mate" Jill

June 1999
