"I love you pretty girl"

Anyone who has met her will have a sense of the loss I feel.

But only I have gotten as close enough to touch her soul and be as "one" with her. For that I will always be blessed. And I will forever feel empty in that space that she filled in my daily life. I know she is always with me, but I will never be whole again without her in my life.

A spark in me has died with Lori. I will find a way to continue on, but it will never be as good as when she walked beside me.

We were alike in so many ways, we both love Bugs Bunny, Stephen King and the Simpsons. There is only a few things that we liked that were different.

Example:
My favorite color is yellow ------ hers is blue
I like tigers ------- she likes unicorns
I find men with dark hair attractive ----- she likes blondes
My nickname is Tuffy ----- hers is Sunshine

I remember whenever we talked on the phone she always ended the conversation with these words, "I love you pretty girl" that always made me feel good. She always wanted me to feel good and happy.

I remember we went out with a set of twins once, boy did we have fun with that. We went to the mall just so everyone would turn their heads (and they did) it was lots of fun.

We used to fool teachers, that was fun.
We have always had fun with our being twins.

I remember once, I was dating this guy and he hadn't met Lori yet, although he had heard alot about her. I tried to explain to him how much alike we were. I guess he really didn't "get it", because when he came to visit, I had her answer the door.

He walked in as he always did, said hello, kissed her and they walked into the kitchen, like we had done so many times, only "I" was sitting at the kitchen table.

It was one of the many things we laughed about.

We even fooled our mother one time, although she doesn't like to admit it, to this day that one we always teased her about. I was in the hospital, and mom was working and I was released, my grandmother picked me up and took me home.

Being the wonderful, loving people we are, I put the clothes on that Lori was wearing that morning when mom left and when mom came home from work I acted like I had been there all along. She did not notice, but to give her the credit she is due, as soon as Lori walked in she knew which one I was. But she will never live that one down, and it is another one of the many things that Lori and I laughed about.

One thing I regret is I never got to see her get married. I would give anything to have been able to see her walk down the isle. She walked with me. I wish I could have walked with her. Although she was very proud to say she was the "last" single Robinson. I believe in my heart she really wanted to experience that.
