A Letter from Dad and Mom to Their Child

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 im loosing my eyesight.
I hope you dont yell at me
Older people are sensitive.
Always having selfpity when you yell.

When my hearing gets worse and i cant hear what you are saying .
I hope you dont call me "Dear".
Please repeat what u said or write it down.

Im sorry my child, im getting older.
When my knees get weaker, I hope u have the patience to help me get up. Please bear me.

When i keep repeating myself like a broken record, I hope you just keep listening to me.
Please dont 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 till you got what u wanted.
Please pordon my smell. I smell like an old person.

Please dont force me to shower. My body is weak.
Old people get sick easily when they are cold. I hope i dont gross you out.

Do you remember when you were little?
I used to chase you around because you didnt want to shower.

I hope you can be patient with me, when im always cranky.
Its all part of getting old.
You will understand when you are older and if you have spare time, i hope we can talk even for a few minutes.

Im always all by myself all the time and have no one to talk to.
I know you are busy with work. Even you are 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 during the last few moments 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 strength to face death. And dont worry when i finally meet our creator, i will whisper in his ear to BLESS YOU because you loved your Dad and Mom.
Thank you so much for your care.
We love you.


With much love,

Dad and Mom
