Letter from Mom and Dad

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 am loosing my eyesight, I hope you do not yell at me. Older people are sensitive, always having self-pity 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’m sorry, my child. I’m getting older.

When my knees get weaker, I hope you have the patience to help me get up,like how 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 don’t make 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 had 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’m 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’m 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, even though I know 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 and I get ill and bed-ridden, 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’m not going to last too much longer.

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 am next to God the Creator, I will whisper in his ear to bless you…because you loved your mother and father.

Thank you for your care.

I love you very much,
Mom and Dad
