A letter from Mom and Dad

My Child

When I get old,

I hope you understand

and have patience with me.

In case I break a plate

or spill soup on the table because

Im loosing my eyesight.

I hope you dont yell at me

Older people are sensitive

always having selfpity when you yell

When my hearing gets worse

and I cant hear what you're saying

I hope you dont call me "Deaf!"

please repeat what you said or

write it down.

Im sorry, my child

... Im getting older.

When my knees get weaker

I hope you have the patience to

help me get up

Like how i used to help you while you

were little,

Learning how to walk

Please bear with me

when i keep repeating myself

like a broken record,

I hope you just keep listening to me

Please dont make fun of me

or

get sick of listening to me

Do you remember when you were little?

and you wanted a ballon?

You repeated yourself over and over

until you got what you wanted

... Please also pardon my smell

I smell like an old person

Please dont force me to shower

My body is weak..

Old people get sick easily when they're cold

I hope i dont gross you out

Do you remember when you were little?

I used to chase you around

because you didnt want to shower

I hope you can be patience with me

When Im always cranky

Its all part of getting old.

You'll understand when you're older

And if you have spare time

I hope we can talk

Even for a few minutes

Im always all by myself all the time

and have no one to talk to

I know you're busy with work

Even if you're not interested in my stories

please have time for me

Do you remember when you were little?

I used to listen to your stories

about your teddy bear.

When the time comes

and I get ill and bedridden

I hope you have the patience to

take care of me.

IM SORY

if  i accidently wet the bed

or make a mess

I hope you have the patience to

take care of me during the last

few moments of my life..

Im not going to last much longer, anyway..

when the time of my death comes

I hope you hold my hand

and give me the strength to face death.

And dont worry..

when I finally meet our Creator

I will whisper to Him

to BLESS you

Because you loved

Your Mom and Dad.

Thank you so much for your care

We love you.

With much love.

MOM & DAD
