She was not like the girls of their age, however, the profile always focused and tough to get whatever he wanted excelled, besides having a unique beauty. I just needed to close my eyes and remember his words about how she fell in love with at the very moment he saw her, because Christopher constantly repeated the same words:

_ That look striking blue amid long blond hair snatched my heart, so Layla lassoed me a sweet smile, I was sure she would be the love of my life.

Always dreamed of the magic of this moment, after all when my father told me, I could see the gleam in his eyes. According to him, at first she was not interested. At school Layla considered one of the best students in the class and how it was meant to enter into a good university, let stand its main feature: A feisty personality.

However, he also gave up did not have patience and know conquer it. They ended up becoming friends and then lovers. Over time, this feeling became stronger and the inevitable happened. Despite being together just over a year and living her first love, Christopher and Layla they were sure they wanted to spend the rest of life with one another.

My grandparents believed that both were too young to take on such a serious commitment, but the desire to be together made them marry. The ceremony took place when they were already adults, and there was nothing his parents could do to stop them. From the pictures I could see how radiant they were. After returning from their honeymoon, they agreed not to abandon their dreams and unconditionally supported the professional independence of each other. So Christopher was study architecture at university, while Layla decided to be a lawyer; thus following the tradition of their families.

Their happiness reached its height when completed one year of marriage and Layla discovered she was pregnant. To the surprise of the whole family months later, they would have twins. My father was the love of her life and had such a strong feeling to be waiting two fruits that love them even more united. The final stages of pregnancy had caused a small interruption in studies of Layla and also served as motivation for her to come to form in the future, after one day their children would be proud of their achievements.

And so my brothers Marcus and Phillip were born. They were fraternal twins, meaning they did not look physically. The only thing they had in common was limited to the fact that both are blond. With regard to the personality of the two, the differences were numerous: the behavior, attitudes and even things they liked to do. Phillip was born first and was always a lovely child. As he was cheerful, communicative, friendly, fascinated everyone. His smile conquered those who knew and remembered my father. Marcus already since childhood proved discreet and observant, always knew what he wanted; as he grew it sets goals and objectives similar to Layla.
