Twins are two offsprings produced by pregnancy. It can be either monozygotic, meaning that they develop from one zygote which splits and forms two embryos or dizygotic, meaning that they are develop from the different eggs.
Twins, as they say, have some of the strongest bonds compared with other sibling relationships. A lot of twins can feel what the other is feeling, others get sick at the same time and even die at the same time.
Even beyond the grave, this 5-year old boy named Walker Myrick who lost his twin brother in the womb connects with his dead twin Willis.
When Walker started his first day of kindergarten, Willis wasn’t with him to share the big day. Instead, Walker went to the cemetery after his class and “talked” to his dead twin about his first day at school.
In 2007, Walker’s twin brother died in the womb at 24 weeks from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a rare illness that occurs when identical twins share one placenta, but only one fetus gets more blood flow from the other.

According to their mother, Brooke Myrick, Walker has always shared a bond with his dead twin that transcends death.
“He told us he just wanted to tell Willis about school.”
The mother was in the middle of carrying Walker’s younger sister out of the car when he ran ahead. She found Walker leaning against his brother’s headstone, “talking” to him about his day in school.
Their mother snapped the photo knowing she was capturing a very important moment that showed her twin’s amazing connection.
