Love letter

Added on August 16, 2021 by Jaime Permuth.

If I say: Luca, did you save a hug for Papi today? He looks for his brother and hugs him instead.

When we sit at the table, if Olin’s chair is not positioned right, Luca gets down from his own and pushes it into place.

When Luca serves himself from a plate, he serves his brother as well. 

If he likes his food, he turns to Olin and says: try this, it’s delicious!

When Olin cries, Luca stops whatever he’s doing, considers the situation and tries to make things right.

Olin’s creative spark, his sense of adventure and his free spirit are a constant inspiration to his brother.

Twins will fight every now and again. Perhaps about the toy they both want at the same moment, or about who gets to go first at doing something new.

But even when they do fight, they’re back to being best buddies in a heartbeat.

If Luca was able to write a love letter it wouldn’t be meant for HRM or I. 

The envelope would read: Olin.
