As a new chapter in my life begins, I've taken the liberty of looking at just who I've become over the years. What I saw was not a good person, and the ocpd that affects my everyday life has certainly been allowed to cause destruction in all personal relationships over the past several years.
So, a new direction in life has given me new vision - and my journey to becoming a better person begins with mending any fences broken with those affected by my bitter carelessness.
Yesterday, I made the phone call that had been absent for more than 6 years to my identical twin brother who I had quickly discarded due to a family quarrel. With guidance from above and a new determination in life, I can gladly say that we are as one again. I love you Greg, and will never leave your side again.
Btw, I'm the cute one. :)

Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
That's a wonderful thing to do EG. You won't ever regret making that call.
That's awesome, two identical mini EG's, who knew. Good luck with this new chapter in your life.
Which one are You ? Bet your the cutest :o) and what I wouldn't give for a sister or brother ...a twin...wow how lucky can you be :o)
Lynda - it sure is...
Japanese redneck - I'm ashamed that I didn't call years ago.....
Kris - pretty strange, isn't it?
Mrs. Ginny - of course....lol
I read this on my phone while waiting for my hair appointment and had tears in my eyes. I had to wait until I got home to comment.
EG! This is awesome! Making that phone call to your brother was a very brave of you. Now you have some years of catching up to do. Does Greg live close by?
Grafixmuse - I could barely speak to him due to my crying, but thankfully the words were uttered amongst the tears. We do have lots of catching up to do, and will do just that as time permits. Greg lives in South Carolina - so it's not easy spending time together.
How wonderful EG!
Oh EG I haven't been around in a while but I'm so glad that I stopped in today! How awesome! It has to feel like a part of you that was missing is back! Kicking one's ego to the curb is not easy so congratulations to you! Many happy years to both of you.
Robin - yes it is...
Maureen - hey there stick lady. :) I'm so glad that you stopped by....
EG, so glad you had the courage to make the call and that your brother was receptive to your effort. Sometimes when we are dealt difficult things it does make us stop and reevaluate everything and cause us to make some positive changes that end up making our lives better. Sounds like the changes you are making will help bring you some happiness and peace! Take care of you!
Bravo - If more people could ditch their pride and ego then I reckon that the world would be a better place :)
Here's to many happy hours of "catching up".
That's beautiful, EG. Just fantastic, it is. I'm happy for you.
Good job EG.
Willow's Quiet Corner - As you can imagine, I feel much better already.
Dani - my pride has gotten in the way of alot of things, but I won't let it happen again.
Ribbit - thank you, maybe I'll post an updated picture of us together in the near future..
Spiderjohn - thanks, man.
What a heartwarming post! Glad you did it, and now you have lots of new memories to make. Not everybody can do what you did.
