Identical twins are a miracle all by themselves. Births like this happen three or four times in 1000.
Savannah Combs, a first time mother, learned she was carrying twins. She and her husband were overjoyed by the thought of welcoming two babies.
Everything went well with the pregnancy and the couple learned they were expecting girls. However, they also learned that their identical twins both had Down Syndrome. The news came as a shock at first, but Savannah, 23, soon realized that the condition only meant that her girls would be super special. She didn’t mind they would be born with the syndrome. Of course, she was aware that there would be people who wouldn’t accept her bundles of joy, but that didn’t concern her a great deal.
“It’s very rare what they have, but they’ve been my little gems,” the proud mother told News4JAX.
Once the girls were born, Savannah and her husband Justin decided to share their journey on TikTok. The two tiny beauties, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli gained a number of followers on the social media where Savannah posted about each of the milestones they reached.
In one of the videos she shared on TikTok, Savannah revealed how doctors advised her to terminate her pregnancy because the chances of her girls to survive were slim, but she decided to give them a fighting chance. As it turned out, she did the right thing. ”Every [prenatal] appointment they were alive was a blessing to me,” Savannah explained.
They were born five weeks prematurely and had to spend some time at the NICU. Today, they are nine months old and thriving. In fact, they are just like any other baby out there.
“They’re called mono di twins, meaning that they had their own sacs, but they shared the same placenta, meaning that they were going to be identical,” Savannah explained.
“Mo di twins as it is, it’s like very rare. And then you throw Down syndrome on top of it, it’s like one in 2 million.”
“They have feelings. They have a beating heart. They know how to talk. They know how to do things you do. They will get there,” she added. “Like I said, it may be a step behind but they’re going to do it. I’ve learned these kids are feisty little things and happy little things.”
She loves showing the world that having Down Syndrome doesn’t necessarily mean the life of those people is in any way affected negatively.
“I’m going to let them know that they’re just like us and they’re going to get there as long as they put their minds to it.”
Of course, there are always those who post negative comments and judge Savannah for keeping her babies.
”I wouldn’t want those babies; if mine came out like that, they would be straight up for adoption,” one person wrote under one of the videos. However, this mother had just the right answer for the mean person. “I said, good thing they weren’t born to you and were born to me. God knew what he was doing by giving these babies to the right parents who would love them regardless,” Savannah replied.
These girls are truly happy for having a mom like Savannah who wants to raise awareness about Down Syndrome and teach the world that those who have it can lead a happy and fulfilling lives, just like her two beautiful angels.

Woman Finds Diamond Ring On Beach – When Jeweler Sees It, He Tells Her This
A couple is now closer than ever after their misplaced diamond ring was discovered on a nearby beach. This is the tale:
Samantha, who frequents the beach, was strolling down the sun-drenched seashore one day when she happened upon the stunning diamond ring.
She was drawn to the ring right away since it shimmered in the sun’s golden beams. Samantha saw an etching reading “E and J” on the inside of the ring after closely examining it.
Samantha made the decision to take the ring to her neighborhood jeweler, Mr. Dalton, after realizing how emotional it must be for its owner. She was hoping he could help find the diamond’s true owner.
When Mr. Dalton, Samantha’s trusted jeweler, saw the ring, he had an unexpected response. The discovery made him pale, and he looked noticeably scared.
His response surprised Samantha, who was unable to understand why the ring had such a profound effect on him. Samantha was left with a ton of questions after Mr. Dalton suggested they call the police right away.
Mr. Dalton and Samantha brought their concerns to Officer Paula Hawkins at the police station, and she treated the matter seriously. They clarified that the ring was the property of
Mrs. Dalton and was a treasured present that Mr. Dalton personally gave her. Husband of Jennifer Dalton was furious because she had vanished from their lives.
Searching from the shore where the ring was discovered, Officer Hawkins got to work. She looked at security camera footage from a neighboring beach bar and conducted interviews with beachgoers. Officer Hawkins persevered, determined to find Mrs. Dalton, even though at first he was meeting dead ends.
Officer Hawkins made the decision to follow Mrs. Dalton’s path back to the Dalton home from the beach. She saw a woman who looked like Mrs. Dalton on the beach along the way. As she got closer, her heart raced. She was relieved to see that the woman she thought was Jennifer Dalton was indeed unconscious on the beach.
Jennifer clarified that her phone had died after she had taken a nap on the beach and fallen asleep. This clarified her inability to get in touch with anyone. Officer Hawkins offered to drive Mrs. Dalton home, relieved to find her safe.
Mr. Dalton was ecstatic to see his wife safe and well back at the Dalton home. Happy tears streamed down the couple’s faces as they hugged. Mr. Dalton surprised Jennifer with a brand-new, even more exquisite diamond ring that was etched with the words “E and J” to make up for the missing ring.
In a heartfelt moment, Jennifer expressed her forgiveness for misplacing the original ring, and their experience had reinforced and revitalized their love.
We are reminded of the value of cherishing our loved ones and the strength of love by this endearing narrative. The depth of our affection for one another is something that can occasionally be discovered even after losing a priceless item.
