A letter from your parents

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 loosing my eyesight, I hope you don't yell at me.

Older people are sensitive, always having selfpity when you yell

When my hearing gets worse and I can't hear what you saying, I hope you don't call me, "Deaf!" please repeat what you said or write it down.

I am Sorry, my Child

.. I'm getting older.

When my knees get weaker, I 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 my self 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 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'm always cranky

It's all the 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 myself all the time, and have no one to talk 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 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'M 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 hand and give me the strength to face death.

And don't worry, When I finally met 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 & Dad.
