I am grateful for my younger twin brothers. A wonderful happy birthday to both of them. They are each awesome individuals who make important contributions to their country, community and family. It is hard to imagine life without each of them.

But when they were born, our parents wanted to adopt a child and were taken to see the twins. Mom and Dad were asked which one of the twins they wanted to take home for adoption. They could not imagine taking only one of the twins and leaving the other. They said they wanted both of the them.

Hypothetically, now that we are 46 years into this adventure, which one would you have chosen if given the choice? Number one or number two?

Darin and Derik, or is it Derik and Darin?
