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. "
