I got to see Chloe while visiting their older sister Faith after she moved into a new apartment. I only get to see Chloe a few times a year at his point, so it feels like I’ve missed a lifetime, every time we get together.

Their hair is the same but they start a new (high) school in the fall. Smiling, processing the milestone (you knew was coming) in slow motion, It’s hard not to think of the first time you meet a person. Chloe was a few months old when I held them for the first time at a family Christmas get-together. They were still a little alien-looking, but their eyelashes were long and curly like mine, and I remember hoping we’d grow to look alike.
