DOUBLE BLESSINGS: ASUNTA WAGURA, 60, WELCOMES TWIN GIRLS

Renowned anti-HIV/Aids activist Asunta Wagura has welcomed twin girls at the age of 60. 

The mother of seven children shared the news on her Facebook page, “Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats and ready your hearts for a story that might just lift you off your feet! This year, my life’s narrative took a comedic turn worthy of an Oscar—yes, at the sprightly young age of nearly 60, I’ve become a mother to twin girls! It’s a plot twist I never saw coming, and one I can hardly believe myself!”

Adding, “Some have been guessing, others doubting, but now it’s clear: miracles don’t always knock; sometimes, they burst through the door with a glorious, uproarious entrance,” I declare with a heart so full it could light up the night sky. To say I’m over the moon would be an understatement; I’m out of the solar system!

In his infinite humour and grace, the Almighty decided to sprinkle a little more wonder into my life. The birth of my twin girls has not only doubled my joy but has also led me into profound pondering about life’s infinite possibilities. “Just when I thought my script was set, life handed me a re-write filled with laughter, diapers, and two beautiful princesses,” I reflect joyously.”

She says the birth of her twins is a fulfilment of a revelation, “I never knew exactly what I was looking for until it arrived, swaddled in pink and crying out with vigorous, life-affirming wails. It has been a fulfilment, a revelation, a revolution of the soul! And in those quiet moments, cradling my daughters, I wonder at the majesty of life and the boundless capabilities of the Divine. “Who says you can’t set sail on new adventures just as your nearing that ‘sixth floor’ of life?” I chuckle, rocking my girls to sleep.”

She encouraged her fans holding onto a dream not to give up “To everyone out there holding onto a dream, feeling it might be too late or too impossible, remember my tale. The God of Asunta, in His wisdom and mirth, does not abide by our earthly textbooks. May He meet you too at the point of your need, and may your dreams find their joyous twilight! So come one, come all—of good faith and cheer—to celebrate these little miracles with me. Welcome into the world my two princesses, who have so graciously turned this seasoned script into a thrilling new chapter!”

Asunta has lived positively with HIV for over 35 years.
