10 rules of life that the father wrote after the loss of his son
Probably, for each parent, children become the number one priority and the most important men in their lives. For their sake, adults are ready for anything to be good for kids.
That is why the greatest fear for every father and mother is the death of a child. Such a tragedy can drive anyone crazy, but you have to be strong to live on. Live for yourself, for your family and loved ones who are alive.
Richard and Jen Pringle’s family suffered a terrible tragedy - their three-year-old son Hugo died of a brain hemorrhage. For them, it was a terrible blow that derailed for a while.
A year after his tragic death, the grief-stricken father wrote 10 important things on his Facebook page, which he realized only after the loss of his son.
1. There is not too much love.
2. You have enough time. You can take at least a minute to play with your child. Nothing should be more important.
3. Take more photos and videos with your child. You can never know for sure that this is not the last moment.
4. You should not "buy" children gifts and money. It is better to spend your time on them: go to the sea, go camping or jump on the trampoline in the park.
5. Listen to music and sing together. Hugh and I loved to sing songs in the car, on a walk, at home. I scroll through these moments all the time.
6. Appreciate the time spent together. Sharing dinners, reading fairy tales, lying on the couch - you miss these simple things the most.
7. Always kiss your loved ones goodbye. Maybe this will be the last thing you do for them.
8. Be able to have fun. No matter what you do - walk, go shopping, driving - do not forget to have fun and laugh.
9. Be sure to write down all of your child’s accomplishments. These records will be very nice to re-read in old age.
10. If you have the opportunity to kiss your children at bedtime, take them to school, have breakfast with them, go to their prom or wedding - then you are the happiest person on the planet. Remember this.
