             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 am 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 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 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. 
            Older 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' want to shower

             I hope you can be patient with me 
            When I'm always be 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. 
            I'M SORRY 
            If i accidentlly 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 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 fianlly meet our Creator... 
            I will whisper in his ear 
            to BLESS you 
            Because you loved 
            your Mon and Dad 
            Thank you so much for your care. 
            WE LOVE YOU. 
             
              
            with much loves,    
            Mom and Dad
