*some people come into our lives and quickly leave,others come into our lives,leave foot-prints on
our hearts and we are never ever the same*
~My twin story~
On July 30,1987, my mother gave birth to twin A at 3:20am by c-section. Then twin b was pulled out
of the stomack (Kari) at 3:22am. we both weighed 3 pounds 14 ounces, 15 inches long in length,
blonde hair blue eyes and fraternal. We were pre-mature by 7 weeks so we needed breathing tubes in
our noses. our heads were shaved bald so that we could also get an oxygen hood, a tube that was put
threw our heads. we where placed in separate incubators. Krista had inflammation in the lining of
her brain, a fluid, called Herpes encephalitis,Simplex Virus Type 1. She went Blind,Deaf,Mute, and
Paralized. They tested me and I did not have it. Mom and dad came to the hospital everyday to feed
us and see us. we where always separate though never together at the same time. Krista was getting
sicker but she was almost able to come home. My dad wanted to bring us both home but my mom wanted
to only bring kari home. krista wouldnt be staying long even if she did go home and my mother knew
this. Krista went mentally retarded and was not able to care for her. they made arrangements for her
to live in a mental institution or for my mother's sister to take her. On September 10 1987, Krista
died. My parents got to hold her one last time. On September 12,1987 Kristas funeral was at donohue.
My father Dug the whole , put her casket in it, and buried her on his own, at Mount Pleasant
Cemetery.
~When I found out about her~
In Fall of 1994 when I was 7 years old my father told me that i had a dead twin sister. He took me
back to my moms and showed me a little box that said Krista's name on it and he told me to open it.I
looked inside and saw baby clothes, a sweater, hat and, booties. This was the outfit Krista died in.
Then I saw a photo album, It had pictures of Krista. Then I saw a bag of Congradulation and sorrow
cards. One card said congradulations on having twins and it had 2 loonies in it, That where suposed
to be given to us when we got older. Then at the bottom of the box was a little White pillow with a
pink ribbon. This was given to Krista after she died . Dad then took me to the cemetery and we found
krista's grave and when i looked at it i stomped on it and my dad questioned me about it but i told
him i didnt know why i did that. i was trying to see if she would wake up.

In a baby castle, just beyond your eye,
Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are you to wish him back into this world of strife,
No, play on your baby, they'll have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,
You'll hear their tiny footsteps come running to your side
Their little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,
You'll breathe a prayer and close your eyes and embrace them in your sleep.
Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others
You have known true glory,
You are still their mother.
Most people walk in and out of your life.

Little Sister - by Christie Wildman
You have this little Sister,
She loves you very much,
But you’ll never get to see her,
Or feel her gentle touch.
She had to go away you see,
Through God’s garden gates.
Though she longs to meet you,
Heaven’s where she waits.
You have this little Sister,
She’s sending you her love,
Although she longs to be with you,
She watches from above.
She grew her Angel wings you see,
Though none of us were ready,
On one of heavens clouds she sleeps,
Cuddling her teddy.
You have this little Sister,
She’d love to come and play.
But for all eternity,
In the sky is where she’ll stay.
God had a plan you see,
He needs her by his side,
He’s shown her how to use her wings,
Through heavens clouds she glides.
You have this little Sister,
And though you are apart,
The love that you feel for her,
Will remain ever in your heart.
To The Child I'll Never Know - by Gloria Dianne Hall
How can I say Good Bye
When I never said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For the child I'll never know?
You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.
I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.
I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.
I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.
I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.
You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one. XX
some people come into our lives and quickly leave
some people come into our lives and quickly leave,others come into our lives,leave foot-prints on our hearts and we are never ever the same
Oh Lord, I Think You Know.........
The hardest thing in life to bear
Is to lose the ones you love
To never see there face again
Or give them that big hug
To never hold them in your arms
To never see them grow
Oh Lord, if we could have one wish
I think by now, you know
That we would wish to have them back
To live on earth with us
So that we could share with them
Our unconditional love
But now that you have got them
In heaven up above
Hold them closely to your heart
And shower them with love
