LETTER FROM A
MOTHER TO A DAUGHTER "My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I
ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what
I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand
times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”...
Just listen, please.
Try to remember
the times when you were little and I would read the same story night
after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a
bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run
after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you
were just a girl?
When you see how
ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn
and don’t look at me that way... remember, honey, I patiently taught
you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed,
combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day... the day
you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of
all, try to understand what I’m going through.
If I occasionaly
lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember,
and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in
your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And
when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me
your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked.
When those days
come, don’t feel sad... just be with me, and understand me while I get
to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift
of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve
always had for you, I just want to say, I love you... my darling
daughter. "Hmmm PLEASE!!!
