A Letter From Mom and Dad

Letter from Mom and Dad

When I get old,

I hope you understand

and have patience in 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 gets worse, and I can’t hear what you’re

Saying, I hope you don’t call me “deaf!!!”.

And I hope you repeat what you said or write it down

I’am sorry, my children

I’am getting older.

When my knees get weaker, I hope you have patience

To help me get up, like I used to help you while you were little kid

Learning how to walk,

I hope you can be patient with me.

When I repeat myself like a broken record,

I hope you just keep listening to me

I hope you don’t make a fun of me or get sick of listening to me.

Do you remember when you were a little kid

And you wanted a balloon?

You repeated yourself over and over until you got what you wanted.

I got patience with you

I hope you pardon me because of my smell.

I smell like an old person. I smell like earth.

I hope you don’t force me to shower.

My body is weak.

Old people get sick easily, especially if they get cold.

I hope I don’t gross you out.

Do you remember when you were a little kid?

I used to chase you around because you didn’t want to shower.

I hope you can be patient with me

If I am always cranky.

It’s all part of getting old.

You’ll understand when you get older.

And if you have any spare time, I hope we can talk,

Even for a few minutes.

I am all by myself all the time.;

Don’t have anyone to talk to.

I know you’re busy with work,

But I want you to know that I get so excited to talk to you, eventhough that sometimes you don’t care what I’m talking about.

Do you remember when you were a little kid?

I used to listen to you tell us stories about your teddy bear.

When the time comes I get ill and bed-ridden,

I hope you have patience to take care of me.

I am sorry

If I accidentally wet the bed and make a mess.

I hope you have patience to take care of me

During the last few moment of my life

I am not going to last too much longer,

When the time of my death comes,

I hope you hold my hand and give me strength to face my death.

And don’t you worry…

When I am next to God, the Creator,

I will whisper in his ear to bless you…

Because you love your mother and your father.

Thank you for your care!!!!!!!!
