A sad farewell...

2009, February 20, Friday

We went down to visit the twins today. It's so sad that they will be immigrating soon, sooner than we wished.

I know that the boys are going to take it very hard. We used to visit the girls almost every week that it became a ritual for my boys to looked forward to. Even Ivan, in his own was excited. He would ask to go to visit the girls all the time, each time the train we took passed AMK. Even though I maybe unsure which twin is which, Ivan knew then apart. Really amazing...... He knows them by their name and he even knows "auntie Merlin" apparently the only auntie that he response to. That goes to show that anyone can make an impression, if they put in the effort.
As far as family goes, we stand alone and as far as cousins go, we only have these little girls that the boys truly love. With their absence in the boys lives, it's going to take a lot of getting used to. But life has to go on. We hope that now we have a better excuse for holidays, as we can go over to India to visit them. Christmas this year is going to be very, very quiet without the kids running and screaming around the tree.
