When I turn old,I am not the original me:Please understand me and have patience with me.
◆When I drip gravy all over my clothes,when I forget to tie my shoelaces:Please remember how I taught you what not to do,and how to do many things by hand.
◆When I repeatedly tell you things that you’re tired of hearing:please be patient and listen to me.Please don’t interrupt me.When you were young,I told you the same story over and over again until you were sound asleep.
◆When I need you to help me bathe:Please don’t scold me.Do you still remember how when you were small I had to coax you to have a bath?
◆When I don’t understand new technology:Please don’t laugh at me or mock me.Please think how I used to be so patient with you to answer your every “why.”
◆When my two legs are tired and I cannot walk anymore:Please stretch out your powerful hands to lend me a hand,just like when you were a baby learning to walk I held both your hands.
◆When I suddenly forget what subject we are discussing:Please give me a little time to recollect.Actually,it does not matter what we are talk about; as long as you are by my side,I am so contented and happy already.
◆When you see the old me,please don’t be sad:Please understand me and support me,just like how I was with you when you were young and were just learning to face life.At the beginning,I guided you to the path of life.Now I ask you to keep me company to finish this last leg of my life.Give me your love and patience,I will give you a grateful smile,and crystallized in this smile is my endless love for you.
