There are many ways of course that even I cannot deny the way in which our lives have turned out incredibly similar. Indeed I hesitate to say that we have inherited our father's upbringing.

Neither of us knew our parents well, I for one knew my mother until the age of 3 and never had contact with my father.
We were brought up by our uncle/aunt.
We were born in secret and lived a fairly segregated existence.

We are united, whether we like it or not, by this one man. Perhaps we know him in a good way, a bad way or not at all but he brings us together.
