SumedhaConfusion Cleared
“I mean, it was just an unknown. It’s like, ‘How could I find this person? Am I ever going to find this person? Is this person alive?” were the thoughts that crossed Howard’s mind for two years.
Finally Found
Doug had little details about Howard, whatever was available with the woman unofficially, and so did Howard. It was Howard who finally tried to contact Doug without any hesitation. The phone rang…
On The Other Side
Doug received the call and the two long-lost brother’s connected immediately. With their first call only, the two felt like they had known each other since a very long time, and it was no surprise to expect this from them, given that they were identical twins.
Generous Woman
“She goes, ‘I’m not supposed to do this. I can get in a lot of trouble, but I’m going to do it anyway.’ So I appreciate that,” Doug said. “She said, ‘Well I have some news for you. You have an identical twin brother.’ And I was like, I literally almost drove off the road. It’s not something you ever expect to hear.”
First Meeting
Doug and Howard decided to meet each other at an airport in Columbus, Ohio. They had met after almost 50 years, but it seemed like they had known each other already. “I finally called him and we talked for a while and it was, you know like I knew this person my whole life. It was amazing,” Howard said.
Unforgettable
Meeting for the first time after so many years has been one of the most unforgettable experiences for both the brothers. “I don’t get nervous really easy or rattled and I still remember sitting on that plane dripping sweat and just being so nervous about, you know, meeting this person that looked like me, that I had no connection with,” Doug said.
