    It bothered me how she kept trying to make them say that one of them is more outgoing than the other

    When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissues has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.

    The parents holding hands, their love for each other...I wish there was more of that in this world, so loving, so articulate, so well educated, so glad they had a happy ending.

    This is a miracle. I am a twin but unfortunately my twin sister was still born. There isn't a day that I don't think about her. I am so happy for this family!
  • The way the husband is holding his wife's hand is just so heart warming :)
  • @nola1754
    I love how the dad is just casually rocking some flamingo and palm tree socks.
  • I love how close the parents are! The dad is cool! The mom is beautiful. The girls were miracle babies who turned out great! They are so friendly and bubbly and positive! The parents did an awesome job raising them!
  • @janandean5064
    This made me cry. How kind of the hospital and the nurse to stick with you for the entire operation. Your story is amazing and joyful. Your courage and "Doing it Afraid" is inspirational. You are truly blessed.
  • @averycee5192
    Wow their mother is seriously so gorgeous and their dad has the best sense of humor! What an amazing family.
  • @litneyloxan
    The way the parents handled having the twins when they were first born was so wholesome and pure. You can tell they do everything completely out of love
  • Wow! 17 years later, the parents have aged sooo gracefully, that they sure don't look 17 years older! Great genes! The girls look awesome and this is such a great story!
  • @canahata
    these girls are the most precious sweet girls. feel so happy for them
  • @Sinnk_
    I love how the parents held hands like second nature throughout the whole interview. Such an amazing and heartwarming family.
  • @susieboodoo8464
    As a mum of a twin, this was my biggest concern when I was told I was pregnant with a twin, great outcome. Beautiful girls!
  • You can tell the husband adores all of his girls. So sweet. Can see the love they all share. ..which is very rarely seen these days. So many would give anything to be apart of a real solid loving family
  • @jadeparis8138
    I love the chemistry between this man and woman. They are true example of everlasting love and their babies add the perfect mix to their inseparable bonds.

    I'm a twin and I can attest to the twin sense. We live out of state from each other but I can feel if she's coming to my house and is near by. I've had her flashbacks after a traumatic series of events. She got injured during training and I felt a pain in the same place and saw her getting injured when it happened. If we have a very strong emotion come up such as stress or depression the other feels it too. I'm the people person for the two of us, the representative if you will. Heheh So nice to see fellow twins.
  • Thank you for sharing your story. My identical twin sister passed away a few days after we were born, she was born first, but either way I often wonder what it would've been like to have her here with me. I love good twin stories and I'm glad y'all story was a great one. Best wishes in all y'all do.🙏🙏
