Living without Fred.

He felt awful about it every time he really thought about it. Fred had been his other half, the person he did nearly everything with, his partner in everything. And now, he wasn't alive.

George was fifty now. Over twenty years since Fred had died. He had lived more of his life without Fred than with Fred. And his children hardly knew who Fred was. They knew they had an uncle who died in the war but they almost always forgot that Fred was his twin. They had no idea of how close he and Fred were. And every time he sees one of his other brothers with his children, he always thinks that Fred should have been apart of this.

They lived through the worse of the war but only one of them came out alive. They had assumed that the both of them would be dead or both alive. Not one dead, the other left behind.

He had Angelina now, and his two lovable, sometimes troublesome children. He had six brothers and a brother-in-law, a sister and five sisters-in-law, his parents, a boatload of nieces and nephews but it always feels like there a empty space where Fred should be.
