My sister Suzy & I have always been very close...best friends in fact. Whenever we get together there is lots of laughter, joking & teasing. I think the fact that I am only 18 months older than her helped, but another big contributor to our close friendship was our mother making us play together when we were younger...because, "friends come & go, but you will always be sisters!"
As kids, then young adults & later as roommates when we would go places together it wasn't uncommon for strangers to ask us if we were twins...usually the reply was one of saying "yes" and the other saying "no" at the same time! I don't know how many people told me "Welcome home" when Suzy returned from her mission. Even now when either one of run into people that new us when we were younger, they will ask "Aren't you one of the Thomas girls?" because they don't know which one we are.
It's funny though, because when we were younger I didn't really see it...maybe because my hair was blond & hers was brunette. But I was noticing the other day as I was looking at photos, that we really do look quite a bit alike.
