Some of you reading this tribute may not have known that Jill was an identical twin. We were born five minutes apart. For as long as I can remember Jill wanted to be a nurse. When we were small Jill would always dress up in her nurses uniform, I was always the patient bandaged from head to foot or suffering from one illness or another. How ironic that our roles reversed in the last months of Jill's life. The difference being that as hard as I tried I couldn't make her better.
Jill achieved her dream of becoming a nurse and went on to be very successful throughout her career. We were all so very proud of her.
A while ago I was reading a book and this quote sums up how I'm feeling right now and probably will for the rest of my life.
" No loss compares to the loss of a twin, that survivors describe themselves as feeling less like singles and more like the crippled remainder of one whole. Identical twins suffer the most"
Jill passed away holding my hand and it was the saddest moment of my life and I will miss her always.
