She was one of two. She was part of a pair. She was binary. Interlinked, entangled and somehow knotted together. You can’t have one without the other, sold as a pair, two for the price of one.
Everything done together: birth day—the real one, plus the others that followed. Nursery, school, university: education side by side. Check-ups, vaccinations, haircuts: self-care in parallel. A duo of happy lives.
But then one half was lost. Part two was taken away. Two became one but in a singularly bad way. Death took its toll, and now she can’t live on her own.
Divided.
