Yesterday my twin nieces turned 13 years old, It is hard for me to imagine 13 years has gone by so quickly.
For those of you who don't know me. my nieces (really cousins) and my nephew are as important to me as my own children.They along with their mother is always there when I need them and vice averse. My cousin (the twins mom), is really like a sister to me and that's how my children know her (Aunt Pen Pen). Penny and I have not always been close, but to look at us today you would think we were real sisters. Saying that we have not always been close does not mean that we didn't have a good relationship, cause that is so not the case. We have always had a good relationship, but I think having children and getting divorced made us closer. We have always been at the important events in every others lives. Which brings me to the birth of my nieces, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Trace and I were in Shreveport(I was still living at home)
looking for stuff my upcoming wedding(that never happened...long story), we had gone to Ellis pottery to get flowers and was headed into a bridal shop on Mansfield rd when my grandmother called to tell us that they(the doctors) had decided to take the girls at 7 months. Penny was checked in at Willis Knighton South. We loaded up and headed that way, when we arrived there were members of my family lining both sides of the hall. Trace and I settled in for the wait. Then it happened they bought the girls out, they had to be taking to the NICU cause they were born early. Has they rushed them out I can remember crying, I was just thanking God they were finally here and I was so happy. I continue to thank God that they are not only in my life but my childrens.
Goodnight all; See ya'll tomorrow
