Childhood experiences in a blend of communal living fostered diverse memories among siblings. A mother and her friend, along with their children, shared a life filled with excitement and whimsical dynamics. Key moments included memorable incidents like buying Ribena, performing impressions, and the magical belief in telepathy among twins. Reflecting on past events, the loss of loved ones unveiled a complex family history, noted for its humor and absurdity, highlighting a communal life that felt both chaotic and fulfilling, ultimately culminating in a longing for connection and acknowledgment of shared experiences.
I remember everything and my sister remembers everything, yet our memories are completely different. I remember our mum's friend bought Ribena: it was the most exciting thing that ever happened.
The sheer number of events we had to catch up on - four divorces, many bereavements, yet more cats - was like listening to a Dynasty plot read by someone on helium.
