When my identical twin sister and I were younger, I
was diagnosed with epilepsy. Before this was
diagnosed, I would often 'apnea' stop breathing in
my sleep.
One time when we were about 2 years old this
happened. I have always had the nickname Missy.
Sonia, my twin sister went to mum and saved my life
by saying to her "Mummy, Missy won't wake up”.
There are many other stories that we have had over
our lifetime of twin-like things, but that one tops
the list. I will never forget that my twin sister is
the reason I am still here 20 years later.
