Clare, Robert and Rosey.

I got some news that reminded me of just how precious siblings are, so here are three beautiful things about my two:

1. When I look at them I can see bits of me - Rosey has the same colour hair and Robert has the same chin.

2. We share memories. It's good to have what you remember of your childhood confirmed by people who saw it all from the same height.

3. We have special names for each other that no-one else uses.
