A Letter From Mum And Dad

Aku dapat bait-bait nota yang sungguh indah dan bermakna ini dari FB seorang kawan aku.


My Child,
I hope you understand 
and have 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 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 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 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
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 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 accidentally wet the bed 
and 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 gave 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 love your MUM and DAD.

Thank you so much for your care 
We love you.

with much love,
MUM & DAD.
