Two Sets of Two

All great things come in sets of two. Because they're so great not just one would do. Like with kids where there is sister there's brother. One looks like dad and the other their mother. But I do have a niece who happens to be an only. So when she had kids she had two so they wouldn't be lonely. So along came two great nieces, I thought well isn't this nice. She must have thought that too because she did it twice. Yes you heard me right from the very start. Two set of two born 10 years apart. She was half way there, we thought she had lost her mind. But a better mother of four you'll be hard pressed to find. The first two were Kapriah and her sister Kyree. Both two stunning beauties that mean the world to me. Both such good girls any mother would be proud of. Like I know their great grandma and grandma are as they look down from above. Then come the next two Brooklyn and Brielle. And these just might be the two that put their mother through hell. These two are just gorgeous with strong personalities and thick heads. And at least one of your kids will put you through it I think someone once said. With her first two we'll just say that my niece had lucked out. But with these two that luck has run out. on this I have no doubt. 10 years make a big difference on how much a mother can do. Especially when you have kids in two sets of two. But I must give her props because she's doing it by herself no no husband no man. And I have all the faith in the world she can do it better than most anyone can. But this is not something that just anyone can do. So think long and think hard before you have two sets of two.
