Parent's Wishes To Our Dear Child

"To Our Dear Child...."

On the day when you see us old, weak and weary;
Have patience  - and do try to  understand us.

If we get dirty when eating and. If we cannot dress on our own;
Please bear with us and remember the times we spent feeding you and dressing you up.

If, when we speak to you, we repeat the same things over and over again do not interrupt us...listen to us;
When you were small, we had to read to you the same story a thousand and one times until you went to sleep.

When we do not want to have a shower, neither shame us nor scold us;
Remember when we had to chase you with your thousand excuses to get you to the shower?

When you see our ignorance of new technologies;
Help us navigate our way through these worldwide webs. We taught you how to do so many things. To eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, To fight for your rights.

When at some moments we lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let us have the necessary time to remember, and if we cannot, do not become nervous;
As the most important thing is not our conversation but simply to be with you and to have you listening to us.

If ever we do not feel like eating, do not force us. We know well when we need to and when not to eat.

When our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane;
Lend us your helping hand the same way we did when you tried your first faltering steps.

And when some day we say to you that we don't want to live anymore, that we want to die. Do not get angry.
For one day you will understand. Try to appreciate that our age is not just lived but survived.

Some day you will realize that despite our mistakes we always wanted the best for you, and we tried to prepare the way for you.

You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for having us near you. Instead, try to understand us and help us like we did when you were young.

Help us to walk, help us to live the rest of our life with love and dignity.

We will pay you with a smile and by the immense love we have always had for you in our hearts.

We love you, child!
Mom & Dad
