An Open Letter From Mom and Dad to a Child. All children must read it.




M.M.M.Ahmed, Editor,Proactive Personality Developer

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 losing 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 Child.
...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.

Please bear with me
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 youself 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 myself 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 teddy bear.
When the time 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, anyways
When the time of my death comes,
I hope you hold my hand and give me the strength to face death
And don't worry...
When i finally meet our Creator...
I will whisper in His ear
to BLESS you

Because you loved your Mom and Dad.
Thanks you so much for your care.
We love you.

with much love,
Your Loving Mom and Dad
