Quick Meeting of a Womb Triplet Survivor on the Street

I was sitting on the steps of the NY Public Library, between twin lions, for a quick moment of sunshine when a man approached me raising funds for abandoned children. He wore a suit & tie with glitter nail polish, eye liner and mascara. The following exchange took place in the course of a few minutes: He said "Girl, you're about to make me straight. Actually I am straight, I'm the father of two kids, I just like to dress like this ever since the mother of my kids died, she died in childbirth" I said "I know why, you may have lost a female twin and you are keeping her memory alive, it was triggered by the loss of your wife" He said "You're right, I am a twin but my twin is alive" I said "Well, maybe you are a triplet and you're keeping another one's memory alive" He said "Yes I was a triplet, the medical evidence proved it but she didn't make it" There is deep and instant recognition among womb twin survivors and they are all around us.
