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.
Here we are with the graduate. Congratulations, Patrick!!!
