READ AND SHARE
"My dear girl, 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 when we talk, I repeat the same thing a
thousand times, don’t interrupt 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 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 that 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.
I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of
time and joy we shared. With a big smile
and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I
just want to say, I love you... my darling
daughter."
