I am a surviving Twin if that is what you would call it, after my sister passed away five years ago. We were born in January of 1970. Since her death in January 2001 my life as it was known has long left me. I have no will to live anymore, nothing matters to me whatsoever it be.

We were identical twins and I feel as if someone or something took the life away from me. My whole life was shattered, to this very day I want to die. I feel as though I can not even breathe without her. I have tried several times since she has been gone to leave this world to be with her but the good Lord above must have a reason for me here because he wont let me go yet.

I am 36 years old and I do not even have a place to call home. I wish there was a way I could make this feeling of longing go away but it never ends. There are so many things that we shared that no one could even begin to understand. I just want to go home but there's no home for me to go to. Melissa long lost without her loving sister Teresa.

I miss her more than anyone could ever imagine.
