My
dear girl and boy, the day you see me getting old, I ask u to please be
patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through. If
when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don't
interrupt me to say: "You said the same thing a minute ago"...Just
listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were
little and I would read the same story night after night until you would
fall asleep. When
I don't want to take a bath, don't be mad and don't embarrass me. Remember
when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take
a shower when you were just a boy/girl? When
you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the
time to learn and don't look at me that way... remember honey, I
patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately,
getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life's issues
every day...the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be
patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through. If
I occasionally lose track of what we're talking about, give me the
time to remember, and if I can't, don't be nervous, impatient or
arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important
thing for me is to be with you. And
when my old, tired legs don't let me move as quickly as before, give
me your hand the same way I offered mine to you when you first walked. When
those days come, don't feel sad....just be with me, and understand me
while I get to the end of my life with love.
