More than 24 years ago, my mother gave birth to twin boys.  These beautiful boys were so small.  They weighed in at 3 lbs 10 oz and 3 lbs 10 oz each.  For a whole month, my mother would trek to the hospital to touch and visit with her babies.  I loved going even if I was not allowed in the nursery myself.  I could watch through the window.  I loved these two little babies so much.  I couldn’t wait to get a hold of them.  When they left the hospital, I wanted to hold one.  The honor went to my sister.  I was so upset, but I was given many chances after. 

Today, the older twin graduated from college.  It was a proud moment.  To go from preemies to college graduates–not that it’s not possible, but when they were born it was so worrisome.
