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 u dont yell at me

                     Older people are sensitive.

.... always having selfpity when u yell

When my hearing gets worst
and I can't hear what you're saying,
                 I hope you dont call me "deaf"
please repeat what u said or
                   write it down

I'm sorry,  my child.
    ....I'm geting older
             When my knees get weaker
I hope u have the patience to
             help me get up

Like how I used to help you
while u 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 to me

Do you remember when you were little
     and you wanted a balloon?
you repeated you self  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 dont gross u 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 my self all the time.
          and have no one to talk to

I know you're busy with work

Even if you're not interesed 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

IM 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 dont worry..
When i finally meet our Creator..
I will whisper in His ear to BLESS you
because you loved your Mom and Dad.
Thank you so much for your care.
We Love You
with much love,
Mom and Dad
