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 at me, older people are sensitive, always having selfpity when you yell
When
my hearing get worse and I cannot hear what you’re saying, I hope you don’t call
me “deaf!” Please repeat what you said or write it down
I
am sorry my child, I am getting older,
When
my knees getting weaker, I hope you have the patience to help me to get up like
how I used to help you when 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 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, 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 am always cranky. It’s all part of
getting old. You’ll understand when you getting older and if you have spare
time I hope we can talk even for a few minutes. I 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 get ill and bedridden, I hope you have patience to take care
of me. I am sorry if accidently wet the bed and 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 dead comes, I hope
you hold my hand and give me the 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 love your Mom and Dad
Thank
you so much for your care
We
love you,
with
much love
Mom
and Dad
