Four years later...
Crystal stood in the airport, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions as she prepared to say goodbye to her parents and 3-year-old twins.
The two identically cute boys, with their innocent eyes and cherubic faces, clung to her legs, their tiny fingers grasping desperately at the fabric of her pants.
Crystal looked down at them, her heart breaking into pieces, and tears began forming in her beautiful eyes.
She had already had a long conversation with her parents, discussing whether she should let her twins go with her or let them stay with her parents until she was settled.
Her mother, Claire, reassured her, "Don't worry about them; we're not old and can care for them." Dr. Lee also nodded to back his wife's sentiment.
They ultimately decided that since the twins were just over three years old, it would be beneficial to let them stay in the comfort of their grandparent's home for the time being.
