Dear Son, Dear Daughter

Dear son , Dear daughter .....

When I am old, please try to have to be patience and understand me.

If I am a slob eating, If I have some difficulties clothing myself… be patient.
Remember the hours that I spent to teach you all sorts of things when you were young.

If I repeat the same thing dozens of times, please dont get angry.
Try to listen to me.

When you were young, you kept asking me to read you the same story, evening after evening, until you fall asleep.
And I read you the story.

If I do not wash myself any more so often, please do not think that I m a disgrace to you
Remember how many excuses I had to invent to make you take a bath when you were small.

When my poor legs not allow me to move as freely;
Please help me in the same way as I held your hands while your were learning your first steps.

If I told you one day that I do not want to live any more and I want to die;
please do not get angry; because one day, you will also understand.....

Please try to understand that at certain age, we do not really live any more.

One day, you will understand that in spite of all my errors,
I always wanted what was best for you and that I've prepared you the ground for when you’ve grown up.

Please do not feel sad or disgust or uncomfortable about my ailing old age.

Please help me to walk; walk together with me
The only thing I cherish and want the most is the love from you,
like the one you had for me when you were young.

I love you ..... my son, my daughter.....

Your Dad, Your Mum
