Almost every morning, I take a moment to give Luca a hug and say, "Have fun, be gentle, and listen." It seems, on those days I miss this moment, like Luca has a rough day. On those days, I realize the impact that small things like a repeated bit of advice to a child can have on an entire day. And the hug makes a difference too. But this advice is really good for anyone, and I strive to live up to it too. So today, make some time to slow down, have a bit of fun, listen to someone carefully, and be gentle in all you do.
About
Love of Life, by Kyra and Chris, is a journal chronicling the couple's marriage, pregnancy, and parenthood. The couple became engaged on Valentine's Day and wed in May 2008. Kyra gave birth to their first child, Luca, in October 2008, and their second child, Astrid, in April 2015. The journal title comes from one of Chris's favorite names, Adria, which means "love of life."
