My dad, who just turned 95 last month, was a surviving twin. The other was miscarried, and for quite awhile his mom didn't realize she was still pregnant. And when his dad found out she was pregnant, apparently there was some consternation and angst.

But I have a feeling the twin must have been fraternal if his mom didn't lose them both.

He always joked that he just "held on tight!"
