"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."






The Twins of Twin Towers
Ten years ago on September 11th, 3,000 people died in New York's Twin Towers and 46 of them were twins. For twins, it's like losing their other half since they have been unusually close since birth. The years since 9/11 have been difficult for the twins: no longer part of a twosome, they have had to reinvent themselves. And for the spouses of the dead twins, seeing the surviving sibling has sometimes proved traumatic. Ten years later, they are all doing their best to get on with their lives but they still define themselves as twins. As Olivia Lichtenstein (who has made a documentary film about the twins who lost their 'other halves' in the 9/11 attacks) has said, "When you spend time with them, you can almost feel the shadow of their missing twin beside them."

So sad...
