Kate Greene and her husband John Greene were high school sweethearts.Their life was shattered when they found out that Kate had stage 3 breast cancer.She started telling her husband " small suggestions" or " life lessons" to write to pass on to her young sons after she is gone.
He published them in the form of a book a year after her death.
These " suggestions" or " tips" are simple yet inspirational like:
1. Teach the kids to say what they want.
2.kiss them at least twice a day
3. Take family vacations
She asked her husband to promise her that he would find someone and remarry after her death as " it's good to be with someone "!
She asked her husband to take the boys to vacation places she used to go so in a way her spirit would accompany them.She asked her kids to try cookies and jam as she loved it!
I am not a very emotional person but this book often brought tears in my eyes and I was at times laughing at the funny incidents.
It is kind of an eye opener as to appreciate life and the people around you before its too late .So in my humble opinion live, love, enjoy and appreciate!
