Jodi PicoultIf you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?
About This Quote
If someone close to you is sick or has died, do you stop acting like they are still alive? Being a sibling is a special relationship that is similar to being connected to another human being. Your twin brother or sister will be with you through the good times and bad, through sickness and health. When one of your twin dies, you are not no longer a twin. A bond is still there between both of you but it isn’t the same bond as it used to be. You are still connected, but not as strongly as before.
