1. You never kiss or hug too much.
2. You always have time. If you’re doing something, stop for a moment, even just a minute, and focus on your child. A child is more important than the obligations you have, everything else can wait at least a little.
3. Take lots of photos and videos with your child. Life is unpredictable. One day it might be all you have left.
4. Don’t just give them money, give them your time too. Do you think costs are important? They are not. What matters is what you do. Jump on the puddles with them, run, walk, swim in the sea, build bases, have fun! I can't remember what I bought for my son, but I remember what we did together ...
5. Sing. Sing together. They are fond memories of the moments when he was sitting in my arms or next to me in the car and we sang our favorite songs together.
6. Enjoy the simplest things. In the evening in falling asleep and reading fairy tales. Regular meals or lazy Sundays. Celebrate the most ordinary moments. They are what I miss the most. Don’t let that time go unnoticed.
7. Always kiss them goodnight. Even if they fall asleep, go kiss them. You never know if this will be the last time ...
8. Have fun together even through boring activities such as tidying up, preparing food, traveling by car, going to the store ... Joke, laugh, have fun and enjoy! Life is too short not to play.
9. Write down important things from the child's growing up. Make a note of all the funny things the child said and did. The kids are so cute. Unfortunately, we only started doing this after we lost our son. We’d like to remember everything, but we can’t. Now my daughter and I don't miss it. Those memories you write down will be preserved forever ... One day, you will be able to enjoy all those moments again ... Nothing will disappear from your memory.
10. If you have a child by your side to kiss him goodnight, eat breakfast with him, escort him to school or college to watch him at a wedding ... you are very lucky. Don't forget to appreciate it.
