I struggle so hard to see them as independent but some days I just have to admit they are twins. And now that they talk to each other, I am starting to appreciate this twin bond more and more.

I really enjoyed reading this, and I love your sons' names. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on my twins' relationship -- past, present and future. PS I hope you aren't offended by this, but my dog is named Oskar (with a K, to boot!). I love the name and only wish I had saved it for my son (who is Oliver, my second-favorite boy name).

You've verbalized the emotional journey I too experienced, where I recognized that my daughters' twin experience is as special as their individuality. Thank you. Tracey, that was beautiful.
