I care for my handicapped, savant twin

 

My twin sister is mentally handicapped. We are 49 years old. She has lived in group homes and institutions for the last 35 years. This was my parents' plan.

Now my mother is old and I moved my dear sister to live near me. I moved her out of the state she had always been in. My husband and I work full-time and have children, so we were unable to take her full time, since she requires 24 hour care, and it was too much for us, at this time.

I love her dearly and she is somewhat a Savant, in music. We spend as much time together now when we can. She also is Diabetic and I had to learn how to give her insulin shots. And being that I hate needles, I recently overcame this fear, for the love of my sister.

My twin and I have a deep connection and I will care and love her for the rest of my life. Two years ago she almost died and was on life support for 4 months or so. It tore my heart out.

When she awoke from her comaI knew I had to help her. Today she sits at the piano and plays so well. I am happy to have my twin!
