Single Guy Recreates Twin Sister’s Family Photos — With a Cat
Meet Jake Thompson, a 28-year-old single guy living in Taiwan, who has a twin sister named Lily back in the States. Jake, who admits he’s not the best at gift-giving, wanted to make this year’s 28th birthday special for Lily, especially since she’s always been great at picking out thoughtful presents for him.
In his own words on his blog, Jake says, “I’m a pretty lousy brother because I rarely get her anything for her birthday. Living far away usually means I don’t get her anything at all, even though she always sends me a gift.” This year, he decided to turn things around.
Knowing that Lily is a big fan of social media, Jake took a deep dive into her accounts and chose to recreate 28 of her favorite pictures, one for each year they’ve been together. There was just one little hiccup — their lifestyles couldn’t be more different. While Lily is happily married with a young child, Jake is embracing the single life overseas. So, how did he solve this dilemma? He swapped out her baby for a cat. Yes, you read that right — a cat!
Jake humorously shared with us that since he doesn’t have kids or pets of his own, he had to get creative and borrow a cat. “It was totally normal to ask a random stranger if I could use their cat for a photo shoot,” he joked. How can you not love this guy?
But the family photos weren’t the only ones he recreated. He also gave himself some clever makeovers and tried to mimic Lily’s lifestyle in a valiant effort. While he may not have been the best gift-giver in the past, this unique gesture is sure to be something she cherishes forever. It really shows that you don’t need a big budget to express your love; just a sprinkle of creativity and, of course, a cat!
