Ten years after I said goodbye to my twin sister Clara, my phone rang with a message I never expected to hear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A receptionist from a dentist\u2019s office calmly asked if I could come pick up my sister because she was still groggy after a procedure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I told her there had to be a mistake\u2014Clara had been gone since we were 20. Then the receptionist handed over the phone, and a familiar voice said, \u201cSarah? Please come get me.\u201d I knew that voice before she finished saying my name. Twenty minutes later, I was racing toward the office with my hands tight around the steering wheel, wondering how something impossible could suddenly sound so real.<\/p>\n

When I arrived, a woman stood from the corner of the waiting room. She was older, with shorter hair and a faint mark along her jaw, but her eyes were Clara\u2019s. I asked questions only my sister could answer: the nickname for the dent in my childhood \u00a0bedroom<\/span><\/a> wall, who had broken Mom\u2019s vase during a blizzard, and details nobody else should have known. She answered every one. Then Clara told me she had survived the accident but had spent years recovering from memory loss before slowly rebuilding another life. I almost believed that explained everything\u2014until I asked when she had finally remembered me, and her answer changed the entire meaning of those ten years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
