In a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood script, HIV activist Asunta Wagura has welcomed a pair of twins at nearly 60, describing the event as nothing short of miraculous.
“Double Blessings at Nearly 60: A Tale of Unexpected Joy and Twin Delights!” declared Wagura in a Facebook statement, brimming with excitement.
“Miracles don’t always knock; sometimes, they burst through the door with a glorious, uproarious entrance,” she exclaimed.
Wagura’s journey to this joyous moment has been marked by adversity. In the late 1980s, while pursuing her education at a nursing college, she contracted HIV. The repercussions were severe; her college abruptly terminated her enrollment upon learning of her diagnosis.
To compound her hardship, Wagura faced rejection from her family, including her own mother, who accused her of wasting their school fees and later contracting HIV.
Yet, despite these challenges, Wagura’s resilience prevailed. The birth of the twin girls has filled Wagura with tremendous joy and 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,” reflected Wagura.

Despite the skepticism that may arise due to her age, Wagura remains undeterred. “Many might say this stage of life is better suited for quiet weekends and early bird specials, not midnight feedings and lullabies. But oh, how delightfully wrong they are!” she chuckled.
Wagura’s story serves as a reminder that fortune favors the bold, and unexpected blessings can arrive at any stage of life. “The God of Asunta does not abide by our earthly textbooks,” she proclaimed, encouraging others to hold onto their dreams regardless of age or circumstance.
“To everyone out there holding onto a dream, feeling it might be too late or too impossible, remember my tale. May your dreams find their joyous twilight!” Wagura urged.
