Explaining Separation Surgery to Young Children
When the Herrin twins were just toddlers, their parents faced the daunting task of explaining that they would undergo surgery to be separated. Maliyah and Kendra struggled to grasp what the procedure would involve, given their young age and limited understanding of the risks. As Kendra later shared on their YouTube channel, their parents comforted them, promising that everything would be alright and gently referring to the surgery as “cut-apart day.”
This conversation was challenging, yet it was only the beginning of a more arduous journey as the girls braced themselves for the upcoming separation surgery.
