A 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 occasionally 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. |
