My claim to motherhood will not be complete if I will not mention the twins: Geonard and Gerry. I’ve been a mother (and still is!) to these two, way long before Raine. Born 14 years after my younger brother Gary, just when my parents were convinced that they’ll be just raising 2 kids in their lifetime. They planned to have a third child when Gary was 7, but ended up with twins when he (Gary) turned 14. My mother was 40 years old.

Nat and Ye (nicknames they made for each other) was born on March 18, 1988 (Year of the Dragon) – a day of solar eclipse. Nat came out at 1130 am that day just when the eclipse was over and Ye followed through 30 minutes later. They were fondly referred to as the “twin dragons” by the hospital staff.
These twins took our family’s life by storm; both literally and figuratively. Now Nat and Ye are both university freshies taking up computer engineering and food technology respectively. The “storm” isn’t over yet. Happy 17th birhthday kambal!
