sebuah surat dari ayah dan ibu :')

a letter from Mom and Dad

My child ,
When I get old ,

I hope you understand and have a 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 can't 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 my self like a broken record
I hope you just keep listening to me

Please don't make fun of me ,
or get sick of listinening 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
Its 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're 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

I'm 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


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.


Thank you so much for your care.

WE LOVE YOU !with much love,
Mom and Dad .
