A letter from mom and dad

A Letter
From Mom and Dad
BY: Prince Kumar

… My Son,
When I get old,
I hope you understand
And have patience with me

In case I break a plate,
or spill soup on the table because,
I m loosing my eyesight,
I hope you don’t yell at me.

Older people are sensitive….
…..Always having selfpity when you yell

When my hearing gets worse
and I cant hear what you’re saying,
I hope you don’t call me “Deaf!”
Please repeat what you said or write it down…….

I m sorry, my Son.
….I’m getting older

When my knees get weaker,
I hope you have the patience to help me get up
Like how I used to help you while you were little,
Learning how to walk.

When I keep repeating myself
like a broken record,
I hope you just keep listening to me.
Please don’t make fun of me,
Or
Get sick of listening to me

Do you remember when you were little
and you wanted a balloon?
You repeated yourself over and over until you got what
you wanted

…..Please also pardon my smell.
I Smell like an old person

Please don’t force me to shower.
My body is weak.

Old people get sick easily when they’re cold
I hope I don’t gross you out.
Do you remember when you were little?

I used to chase you around
because you didn’t want to shower

I hope you can be patient with me
when I’m always cranky
It’s all part of getting old.
You’ll understand when you’re older.

And if you have spare time,
I hope we can talk
Even for a few minutes , I'm always all by my self
all the time and have no one to talk to

I know you’re busy with work.
Even if you’re not interested in my stories,
Please have time for me.

Do you remember when you were little?
I used to listen to your stories about your friends.

When the times comes
and I get ill and bedridden,
I hope you have the patience to take care of me.

IM SORRY
If I accidentally wet the bed or make a mess

I hope you have the patience to take care of
me during the last few moments of my life.

Im not going to last much longer, anyway.

When the time of my death comes,
I hope you hold my hand and give me the strength to
face death

When I finally meet our creator….

I will whisper in his ear….
to BLESS you

Because you loved your
Mom and Dad..

Thank you so much for your care.
