[index] Wed Apr 12 23:30:26 CEST 2006 Gentan & Ayumi -- Its incredible how close our kids' friendship is- they're just fifteen months apart in age, so they're almost twins. I read somewhere that its actually called 'semi-twins' when two siblings are born within one and a half years apart. Gentan is so kind to Ayumi, and Ayumi adores her brother. In the mornings when they see each other for the first time, they're all smiles and hugs, and before they fall asleep, they want to lie down next to each other. Eternally sweet. Having two children so close in age drives us parents insane at times, but we've given them this gift, and they'll always have each other to lean on. Its a comforting thought. --
