Jessica’s Twin Sister Shares Their Bitter-Sweet Memories Together And With Parents
In a blog from 2016 published by Justina, she shares not-so-fond childhood memories dedicated to her twin sister Jessica.
Justina starts by sharing how she used to lie about her crying when, in reality, she used to cry and felt lucky that Jessica used to put her arms around her.
Jessica’s twin sister highlights how thinking of sad things makes her feel sad, and recalling happy things makes her even sadder.
She also mentions how she always wanted to be like Jessica as she was “so clever and artistic and funny and cute and adventurous and likable and you ran so fast and all the boys liked her.”
“Daddy called you Favie,” Jessica’s twin mentions. There were times when Justina hid in the corner of the room and wrote mean things about her mummy, which she used to scratch it out.
Justina embraces her fond memories with Jessica when they used to sleep in bed holding hands scared of UFOs, and when they used to agree that their “young sister is a self-righteous poohead and Mummy is like an overgrown child.”
Furthermore, at the end of the blog, she emphasizes how her parents love each other. She writes, “how come she still loves Daddy even though he forgot about their anniversary last year, and how come he still loves her even though she spends all of his money on wine and cigarettes!”
