I read this post from a blog; http://berrypuccino.blogspot.com/2012/02/letter.html
It's just a reminder, if someday.... you know. someday..... it happens.
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
Im 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"!
please repeat what you said or
write it down
Im sorry, my child.
..Im 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 don't make fun of me,
or
get sick of listening to me
Do you remember when you were little
and you wanted a ballon?
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 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
Im always all by my self all the time.
and have no one to talk to
I know you're busy with work
Even 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.
IM 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.
Im 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 DAD.
Thank you so much for your care
WE LOVE YOU.
With much love,
MOM and DAD
