I have missed these two little monsters so much can you believe they are actually cousins rather than brother and sister and that they are only 3 months apart in age!!!! By Sanhaim they both will be 18 years old and its a bit of a shock that these two have grown up so fast from being babies.
Lol I better explain who they are hadn't I, well they beautiful young lady is my niece Kirstie whom I adore and the grinning lad is my darling son William and well the love I have for him is immeasureable in words. This is such a rare picture trust me, since they where old enough to escape a camera they have eluded being photographed together like pair of old time pros. As toddlers they where partners in crime where one would go the other went, crawling through cat flaps, climbing under tables and genuinely being underfoot. At times it was hilarious Kirstie toddling after William who was crawling away at top speed because he didnt want cuddling which was more like a death grip....she loved him soo much as a baby because he was her real life baby!!!! They are extremely protective of eachother and are closer than any brother and sister. Their bond is unbreakable and although they can fight like cat and dog at times you can see the love they have for eachother. It's this picture that brings me hope, they are our future, their children will be our future and if these two can survive the cards that where dealt them over the years their children will be getting the benefit of two great supporters.
To say they are rather spoilt at times is an understatement but as they are the only grandchildren of our parents I'm sure you will understand that. I myself can't and darent have anymore children so I was sterilised young and had a hysterectomy last year. My sister isn't planning on more children even though mum is terribly brooday at the moment as one of our cousins has just had a little one and keeps hinting to her that she only has ac ouple of years left before she reaches 40 and the risks increase. My sister chooses to ignore those comments and quickly changes the subject and deflects the idea. She too, like me, does not want anymore children, I suppose you could say we are selfish but at our age we have done the raising of kids and have other things to do. For me it's dealing with the mental illness I have, for my sister it's been learning and getting a job that she likes. Life goes on we smile, we cry, we laugh, we age but in the end we love xx
