Dad Speak: Comic Relief

On New Year’s Day, the twins turned 18 months old. Time flies just like that. One day, I will wake up and Antoinette will tell me that she just got engaged. Okay, okay, that’s going to happen way down, down the road. But paranoid, over-sentimental mothers know exactly what I am talking (writing) about. I recently told Jeff (again!) that I will shed buckets of tears the moment Nicholas tells me that he loves some girl.

Managing twins is a full-time job. They can wreck havoc in a home that I desperately want to keep in order despite my very poor ability to do household chores (well, at least I can cook!). I love them to bits though. So here is an article written by Jeff before I gave birth. I gave birth to premature twins (who came out three weeks earlier than expected) in early July. Jeff wrote this article before I gave birth and Cebu Daily News published this one on July 4, 2013 – three days after the twins were born. Our deepest gratitude to CDN’s Lifestyle Section with Editor Miss Mimi Lijauco at its helm!
