I lost them before I knew I had them. We named them Vaga after the brightest star. I never knew and I will never forget. The day it happened I didn’t believe it at first. I was in pain and I just wanted my partner. I held Vega in my hands. I kept her with me for a long time. We made a memory box. I lost friends who decided I lied because they didnt look like a baby.
