Caren Krutsinger Poet Ballad

Best Day In My Life

I had not seen my sister in six years.
It was a long time for us; we are identical twins.
And close.

We finally got together with our families
When our children were four, five, three, and two.
They were alarmed because we kept crying.
From laughter

She would say "Remember when Florence Dale..."
And I would laugh so hard, I would practically wet my pants.
When I started crying, she would cry too. 
We were wailing with pure happiness, scaring the children.

They kept sitting on our laps, glaring at the other twin.
Thinking someone was "hurting" their mama. 
After a while we would just look at each other and laugh 
Until we cried. Best day in my life, and probably hers.

Quoth Theraven July 20, 2019 at 11:51 PM Caren, Soooo,,,, there are two of you out there? -Richard Caren Krutsinger July 21, 2019 at 6:39 AM There are definitely two. I had warned a secretary at school once that she and I are identical and she would be in around 8:30. She is always late, whereas I am always early. When she walked into the office the secretary SCREAMED and it was not a scream of joy.

Jennifer Proxenos June 3, 2019 at 2:22 PM A beautiful touching poem about your twin sister - is it true that if one twin experiences any emotion or pain, the other twin does also? Children are good judges of character, they must have loved you both to bits, even if you did scare them at times! Hugs, Jennifer. Caren Krutsinger June 3, 2019 at 4:58 PM My sister is a sender, I am a receiver, but I also receive messages from many other people, even people I barely know. My family is full of prophetesses. I can send message all day long to my sister, she is closed to mysticism, so it does her no good, but she is a fantastic sender.

Ann Gilmour June 2, 2019 at 11:26 PM Beautiful Caren, that bond between twins is the most special bond you can have. What pure joy and happiness you had that day - I loved that you laughed until you cried. I could feel your emotions from your gorgeous write - thank you Caren! With kindest thoughts Ann xx and hoping you are recovering well from your recent bout of ill health? Caren Krutsinger June 3, 2019 at 5:27 AM Thank you Ann. I am a bit better today after taking ibprophrin (recommended by my twin who is a nurse) and treating myself with a special roll-on treatment (recommended by another friend who is also a nurse). I am getting better care now that I have two or three nurses giving me advice constantly. I am trying everything out of desperation! My twin and I have a secret silent language no one else speaks. When we get started we cannot stop laughing.

Kim Rodrigues June 2, 2019 at 6:34 PM Sisterly fun, certainly twinny fun! I’d love to join in! :) Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2019 at 8:53 PM We have a blast when we get together, laughing over the dumbest things that no one else understands. We do not understand them either sometimes.
