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 I am loosing my eyesight

I hope you don’t yell on me

Older people are sensitive

Always having selfpity when you yell

When my hearing gets worse

And I 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 am 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 on me

Do you remember when you were little?

And you wanted a balloon?

You repeated yourself over and over

Until you got what you wanted

Please also pardon my smell

I smell like an old person

Please don’t force me to shower

My body is weak

Old people get sick easily

When they’re cold

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 patience with me

When I am always cranky

It is 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 minute

I am always all by myself

All the time

And have no one to talk to

I know you’re busy with your work

Even if you are not interested in my story

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 am 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 am not going to last much longer anyway

When the time of my death comes

I hope you hold my hands

And give me me the strength to face death

And don’t worry

When I finally meet our Creator

I will whisper in His hear to bless you

Because you loved your Mom and Dad

Thank you so much for your care

We love you

Mom and Dad
