An Hour to Live, and Hour to Love by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson

After reading the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff with. your Family, I was eager to read Richard's other books. This book is very touching as it writes about the love from Richard to Kris, 3 years before he died in Dec 2006. I did not even knew Richard Carlson is dead until I read the cover of this book.

There are 2 parts to the book. One is the letter Richard wrote to Kris in 2003 for their 18th anniversary and the other is Kris's words about how she felt about Richard. The question it asked was "If you have an hour left to live, who would you call and what would you tell him or her?" Pondering about this question, Richard realised that he should tell Kris about he he felt about her as if he has only an hour to live. The letter was very touching and there are many lessons to be learnt from it. Kris then take the second part where she writes about the things Richard did and the feelings between both of them.

I was surprised as I finished the book in a session of about half an hour. It has only 53 pages, not counting the ending poem and the last pages for the reader to write what he or she wants to tell the other party if he has only an hour to live.

I am now looking forward to read his other books.
