A Letter from Mom & 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 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 can't hear what you're saying,
I hope you don't call me "Deaf"
Please repeat 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 myself 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 baloon ?
You repeated yourself over and over until you got what you wanted

Please also pardon my smell, I smell like and old person
Please don't force me to shower, my body is weak
Old people get sick easily when they're 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'll understand when you're older

And if you have spare time,
I hope we can talk even for a few minutes
I'm always all by myself all the time
and have no one to talk to
I know you're busy with work

Even when 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

I'm 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 moments of my life
I'm not going to last much longer, anyway

When the time of my death comes,
I hope you hold my hand and give me strength to face death

And don't worry....

When I finally meet our Creator,
I will whisper in His ear to bless you
because you loved your mom & dad

Thank you so much for your care

We love you

with much love,

Mom & Dad
