A few years ago, my best friend, Corey, passed away. He was a twin, and I have never known two people to be so similar yet so different at the same time. Corey and his twin, Carey, had a strained relationship and often went months without speaking. However, as I soon learned, the twin bond after death is far stronger than any earthly disagreement.
One morning, while enjoying my coffee, I thought of Corey. I realized I had dreamt of him during the night, though the details remained fuzzy. Suddenly, as I sat there, I saw him standing clearly in front of me. I heard a voice in my mind: “Tell Carey to go to the doctor; it’s not heartburn.”
A Message for a Skeptic
Corey always believed in the paranormal, but Carey was a true skeptic. I knew I couldn’t reach out to Carey directly with such a wild story, so I called their younger brother, Mike. I explained the visitation and asked how Carey was doing. Mike revealed that Carey had recently been diagnosed with thyroid cancer but refused to seek treatment. I begged Mike to talk sense into him, knowing that a message from the other side is always important.
A few days later, Mike reported back. Carey insisted he felt great and claimed he wasn’t even experiencing heartburn. I didn’t believe it, but Corey never returned with further instructions.
The Truth Revealed
A month later, Carey—a semi-truck driver—had to undergo a mandatory DOT physical. The doctors required clearance from an oncologist, who eventually convinced Carey to have his thyroid removed. During pre-op testing, surgeons discovered a severely damaged heart valve. They could not treat the thyroid until they repaired his heart.
Carey underwent heart surgery less than two weeks later. It turns out it wasn’t heartburn after all; it was a life-threatening heart condition. Today, Carey is doing great. Even when twins do not see eye to eye, this story proves that the twin bond after death remains unbreakable.
