After four

These are the moments I couldn't share
because I was oceans away . . .

Marie had promised to call soonest if her next baby were a girl. It was. Rather, they were. She had twins, Gabrielle and Giselle. As promised, Marie called, right after she was brought to her room from the delivery room. Forgetting the 7-hour time difference, she jolted us out of bed at 2:00 am.
The coming of Gabrielle and Giselle was absolutely wonderful, but I had to wait almost two years before I could see them and hold them in my arms.

you'll have a boy and a girl. 
Aragorn Miguel and Aeomer John were born in May and it looks like Rolf and I won't see them until our next holiday in Manila. By that time, my twin grandsons would be more than two years old.
