Today’s word is Together; and here’s my post.
They’ve been together for almost 5 years now, these three boys of mine. They spent the first 29 weeks and 5 days of their existence, cramped up, jostling each other and causing me quite a bit of discomfort :). And the next 50 days, they themselves experienced quite a lot of pain, being pricked and prodded all over. And yet, they remained together, in adjacent incubators.
They’ve been together, sharing a womb, a crib, a bed, a room… And the more time they spend together, their bond grows tighter. They are inseparable now, these three little brothers. A few days back, Judah woke up from his afternoon nap earlier than his brothers; and he missed them. He wanted me to wake the others up; so they could come out and play with him :).
Together they play, they sing, they laugh, they climb, they fall, they fight. They even get into mischief together! If all three are quiet and/or missing; I can be 100% certain, they are up to no good :). As I see this bond between brothers, I am so glad they have each other. No matter the trouble we have, raising triplets; it’s all worth it, when we see how much they love being together. I will forever be grateful to God, for my boys!
What comes to your mind when you think of the word “Together”?
What a sweet post. I can just see a lonely boy hovering over two brothers, hoping, hoping for them to wake up!
Love your blog title. Interestingly, I was just thinking about imperfection this morning!
Thank you Cheryl! Blessed to have you stop by.. 🙂
Together – to bring meaning, in hard times, to cry, to laugh (silliest jokes), no matter what will be there for you, to love and until death! Loved the post Sheena.
Loved the simple, but deep thoughts you’ve mentioned, Anna.. Together, no matter what! 🙂
That reminds me of my children. They are not triplets (some aren’t even biologically related) but they are as close as can be. They are always together.
The bond between siblings, never ceases to amaze me. As you say, they don’t even have to be biologically related to share that bond. You have a lovely family, Kristen!
