A lifelong dream that was not meant to be



(Based on an article in the LRD 22/7/2009 issue on a Singapore medical team's attempt to separate a pair of Iranian Siamese twins, Ladan and Laleh Bijani, almost exactly 6years ago.)

The class felt that the twins were very brave to go through the operation. They had the dream of seeing each other face to face. We are sad that they were unable to do so. We had a little experience of being "being stuck" together with our partners in the classroom. The task was to retrieve something which was away from us. We felt uncomfortable "following" the other person, very inconvenient and it was not easy to move around. We were "joined together" for a few minutes but the twins were connected together for 29 years. We really admire their courage,their patience with each other.
