Stuck together at their breast plate reminded of their legacy of late two young men could never be divided they lived attached, personalities confided. they travelled to America, as young adults married separately, each carried his own salt; they were a curiosity to those around how two young men were permanently bound. Of course they argued sometimes too it was impossible for each to melt that glue; they had to carry each other wherever they went they raised their own families, celebrated lent. Imagine they couldn't see the end of one or another the brother of one was the an uncle to the other; till one day one died in his sleep the other awoke and began to weep... Such is the tale of the 'first' Siamese twins guess you wondered where their story had been; let their lives set an example for us in the human zoo what real bonds can mean for two stuck like glue.

Karilea, I too am amazed at how they were each able to raise families, to have even argued and yet remaining face to face. Andrew, Your read is much appreciated...there is much to learn from these two brothers |
