Thing One And Thing Two Are Splitting Up!!!

My sister's has a set of triplets. Two are girls and there's a boy. For a long time, the girls seemed identical and I could never tell them apart. I would always ask them why does she look just like you? They would give me a goofy look and shug their shoulders. By the time they were old enough to understand, it was easyto tell the girls apart. They have always been together and now they have decided that after their graduation from high school, they want to attend different universities. These three children are the closest to perfect as I believe is humanly possible. They excel in everything that they do. They are well rounded children. Late last year, all three of them were awarded the "Letterman," jacket of academic excellence. They are very good little helpers at him and faithful in their church. But now they have decided that they no longer want to be referred to as "The Triplets." They want their own identities. It has been a long time coming, but it is here and there is no holding them back, their minds are made up. I feel a little sad about it. They have the rest of their lives to be apart, but I think that they should adjust to college life together. However, they do have very different interest. One plays basketball, the other wants to be a teacher, and the boy is an aspiring musician. I wish them the best in everything. Here is a recent picture of the girls. I lovingly call them, "Thing One and Thing Two."

Hi, Rozie, I have not seen you in awhile. They will at least try the separate life when they start college. If they are ready, they will succeed, if not, then they will find a way to get back together and still further their education. This actually may make them closer, if it is at all possible.

I know what you mean. I am just so use to them being together. They do need to learn to be apart though. They can't be together forever.

Your triples are adorable. I think that they should also have there own individuality, they have different interests to. It's time for them to be independent and not think about the other one, just for now. Maybe they would be able to find what there looking for, when there not dependent with each other! I wish you niece and nephew all the best.

Thank you so much. They are really fed up with the triplet thing, so I guess it is time they experience life as individuals.

Wow! I can't fathom raising triplets, it must be both a blessing and a challenge. I guess I can understand them wanting to have their own identity but I also can understand how you would find it kind of sad. No matter where they go or what they do, however, I'm sure they'll always have an unbreakable bond. It's wonderful to read something so positive about kids with bright futures in these days when there's so much bad news all the time! Annie

That's very true. All of the bad news in this world is so draining to me. Just when I think I have heard it all, someone goes and does something that I never could have imagined. Good news is refreshing.

Hi Rozie! That is all part of growing up. They want to find out what life is all about. When they are older, they will probably end up living close to each other. My Friend has twin sisters. They are adults, and do everything together. This is just a faze in life, to learn whatever has to be learned. It is natural. Wishing you all the best.

I know that you are right. This was bound to happen sooner or later. I do hope that they will settle down close by each other. My older sister moved to Georgia two years ago and I am still having a hard time with it. I never thought that any of the three of us would move to another state. But life does go on.
