Parents Wish
To Our Dear
Child,
On the day
when you see us old, weak and weary...
Have
patience and try to understand us...
If we get
messy when eating ...
If we cannot
dress on our own...
Please bear
with us and remember the times we
spent
feeding and dressing you.
If we cannot
speak to you
and 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, a
thousand and
one times the same story until you
went to
sleep.
When we do
not want to have a shower,
neither blame nor
scold us...
Remember
when we had to chase you with your
thousand
excuses to get you to shower...
When you see
our ignorance on new technologies...
help us
navigate our way through those worldwide
webs.
We taught
you to do so many things...
to eat the
right foods, to dress appropriately,
to fight for
your rights...
When at some
moment we lose the memory or
the thread
of our communication...
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 surely to be with you
and have you
listening to us...
If ever we
do not want to eat, do not force us.
We know well
when to and when not to.
When our
tired legs give way and do not allow
us to walk
without a cane ... lend us your hand...
the same way
we did when you first tried your
faltering
steps.
And when
someday we say to you that we do not
want to live
anymore... that we want to die...
do not take
it personally or get angry...
someday you will
understand all too well.
Try to
understand that our age is not lived but
survived.
Someday you
will realize that, despite our mistakes,
we always
wanted the best thing for you
and we tried to prepare
the way for you...
You must not
feel sad, angry nor ashamed for
seeing us
near you. Instead, try to understand us
and help us
like we did for you when you were young.
Help us to
walk... Help us to end our way with love
and dignity.
We will pay you by a smile and by the
immense love
we have always had for you in our heart.
We Love You
Our Dear Child!
