双子の両親は、子育ての大変さは2倍かもしれないが、楽しさも愛も2倍になる。
ハフポストUS版がFacebookページを通じて、子育て中の親に、双子の写真をお願いしたところ、可愛らしくて、愉快で、愛にあふれる写真がたくさん届いた。
とくに心温まるのは、母親のニコル・ナイトさんが病院で撮った生後5カ月の双子の写真だ。
赤ちゃんのペイトンは、髄膜炎と敗血症で危篤だったという。そして、彼女は「私たちは、双子のジェドをペイトンに会わせて、手を握らせようと決めたんです」と教えてくれた。
「笑顔のジェドの横にいるペイトンが命をかけて戦っているなんて、夢にも思わないでしょう」とナイトさん。「これが双子の愛でないならば、何が双子の愛かわかりません」
さあ、双子の魅力が伝わる、素敵な45枚の写真を見てみよう。
