Dear Child,
In the autumn of my life,please try to understand
and be patient with me, if,due to my declining vision,
I break a plate or spill some soup on the table.
Do you remember when you were young? When you wanted a balloon,you would ask for it the whole day through ‘til you finally had it. I was
so patient with your childish demands then.
I'm sorry if I smell likean old coffin. I guess, oldpeople smell the same. Don’t force me to take
a bath, please.
My body is fragile. I easily get sick with a sudden changeof temperature. Don’t abhor, or despise me.
Do you remember when youwere young? I even playfullychased you down under thebed when you didn’t want to
take a bath.
Be patient with me if often I am cranky. That’s probably becauseof my old age. When you grow old, you'll understand.
Can I have a piece of your time, please? I just want to have a little
conversation with you. It feels so lonely: alone at home the whole day with no one to talk with.
I know you’re busy with your work; but I long for your presence, too, to talk and be with; well, you can pretend to like my stories.
Do you remember when you were a child? I would lookat your eyes and patiently listen to your stories about
your teddy bear, crushes and little adventures.
And when the time comes that I could
not get up anymore,pinned on the cursedbed of suffering, you
may not get reluctantand tired of taking
care of me...
Forgive me if I pee ordefecate on my bed dueto incontinence. Please,
bear with me at the last moment of my life.
Anyway, I won’t stay much longer.
And please, don’t worry, for when I come face to facewith our Creator, I will whisper and beg Him to bless
you, for you've been…….. A…… loving…. Child..
