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’m loosing my eyesight

I hope you don’t yell at me

Older people are sensitive

Always have self-pity 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 say or write it down

I’m sorry my child I’m getting older

When my knees get weaker

Hope you have 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 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 getting 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 hope we can talk

Even for a few minutes

I’m always all by myself all the time

And have no one to talked 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 all of your stories about teddy bear

When the time comes and I get ill and bedridden

I hope you have the patience of to take care of me

I’M SORRY

If 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 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 loved your MOM and your DAD

Thank you so much for your care

We Love You..

                                                                                                With much love,

                                                                                                Mom and Dad
