A LETTER FROM MOM AND DAD...

My child,
When I get Old,
I hope you understand and have patient with me
In case I break a plate, or spill soup on a table because
I'm loosing my eyesight, I hope you don't yell at me
Older people are sensitive...always having selfpity when you yell

When my hearing gets worse and I can't hear what you are saying,
I hope you don't call me "Deaf!"
Please reapet what you said or write it down
I'm sorry my child. I'm 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 my self, like a broken record
I hope you just keep listening to me
Please don't 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 forse me to shower
My body is weak.
Old people get sick easily when they are cold
I hope I don't gross you out
Do you remember when you were little?
I used to chase you around because you didn't want to shower

I hope you can be patient with me when I'm always cranky
It's all part of getting old
You will 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 my self 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 times comes and I get ill and bedridden,
I hope you have the patience to take care of me
Im SORRY
if I accidentally wet the bed or make a mess
I hope you have the patience to take care of me
during the last few moment 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 strenght to face death
And don't worry
WhenI finally meet our Creator
I will whisper in his ear to Bless you
Because you love your Mom and Dad
thank you so much for your care
We love you

with much love
MOM an DAD
