Today was the day we said goodbye to my parents. Looking down at my beautiful babies, my heart did a flip flop. I didn't know if I'd ever see them again. It pained me greatly to think like that, but knowing my parents would protect them with their lives also brought me a sense of peace and comfort. As I hugged my mom and dad tightly, my eyes welled up with tears. I tried to hold back the sob that was building up in my throat. It felt like my heart was breaking into a million tiny pieces. I knew I had to be strong for my babies, but the thought of leaving them behind and not seeing them grow up was unbearable.
"I promise to come back to you soon, my little ones," I whispered, planting a tender kiss on each of their foreheads.
My parents took the twins into their arms as they bid me goodby
