Lima
May 28, 2021
Peter and his twin brother Joseph were born in Lima, Peru on October 9, 1990. On January 10, 1991, they were placed in our arms. Our first month of parenting took place at the Hostal Senorial, in the Miraflores district of Lima. I remember eating breakfast there each morning in the patio, with Peter in a sling against my chest. They served huge rolls of bread which I consumed hungrily, while crumbs fell onto Peter's downy head.
Toward the end of that period Ron grew very sick and had to fly home. There was no way I could manage the twins by myself, so our niece Shannon flew to Lima and helped me through the final week. (For a picture of Shannon in Lima see the gallery.) I'm not sure I ever thanked her enough--thank you, Shannon!
