Read this incredibly nice story and decided to share, very sweet one from huffington post. Some things are just beyond reasoning but not impossible. Read on
When Lucy and Maria Aylmer tell people they are twins,
disbelief is one response.
The 18-year-olds from Gloucester, U.K. are two of the five
children born to their Caucasian father and "half-Jamaican" mother,
World Wide Features reports. While their other siblings have a blend of
features from their parents, Lucy and Maria are opposites: Lucy has fair skin
and red hair, while Maria has caramel skin and dark hair.

Lucy, left, studies art and design at Gloucester College.
Maria studies law and psychology at Cheltenham College.
Fraternal twins develop from two eggs fertilized by separate
sperm cells. The BBC reports that for a biracial couple expecting twins, there
is about a 1 in 500 chance those twins will have different skin colors.
The Aylmers are proud of their uniqueness.
"Now we have grown older, even though we still look so
different, the bond between us is much stronger," Lucy said. "Now we
are proud of the fact that we are each other’s twin sister. Maria loves telling
people at college that she has a white twin - and I’m very proud of having a
black twin."
