My dear girl,

If one day, you see that I have become old, if I spill food on myself when I eat and I am not able to dress myself…Please, be patient.

Remember how much time I spent teaching you how to dress yourself when you were a little girl.

If when I speak, I repeat them same old things, do not interrupt me, listen to me…

When you were little, I had to always tell you the same stories until you fell asleep.

If sometimes, I do not want to take a bath, do not criticize me and make me feel ashamed.

Remember when I had to run after you…inventing excuses because you did not want to take bath.

If you notice my ignorance, regarding the new technologies, give me the necessary time to learn and Do not look me with that ironic smile.

I also had to have a lot of patience when I taught you the alphabets and helped you with your homework.

If I am not able to remember things and lose the thread of a conversation, give me time to remember and if I cannot, then don’t get upset.

The most important thing is not what I say but to be there with you and to know that you are listening to me.

If my tired legs do not allow me to keep up with you, when we walk together…Do not treat me like a burden.

Come towards me, and hold out your hands, in the same way that I did with you when you took your first steps…

If I say that I wish I were d.e.a.d, do not get angry…

One day you will understand what has made me say this and you will understand that at my age, one does not live, instead of survives.

One day you will understand that despite my errors, I have always wanted the best for you, and that I tried to smooth the path for you.

Give me a little of your time and also your patience.

Let me lay my head on your shoulder, in the same way, that I have done for you.

I love you, my dear daughter, and I pray for you, even if you ignore me.

When you were 3 years old, I prepared your meals, and in return you threw your plate on the floor.

When you were 14 years old, I paid for your summer camp, and in return you did not even write me thank you letter.

When you were 18 years old, I cried when you graduated from high school, and you instead decided to spend the entire night partying with your friends.

When you were 19 years old, I paid for your university education, but you instead were ashamed to introduce me to your friends and colleagues.

When you were 25 years old, I helped you organize your wedding, but you in the end decided to move away to another city.

When you were 50 years old, I had grown older and needed care, but you preferred to send me to a nursing home.

Now I have passed away. And the things that you have done can no longer be changed.

When your mother is still with you, be nice to her and tell her that you love her.

Many mothers may have their defects, but all of them have one thing in common: they brought us into the world and they raised us!

They carried us in their womb, and they gave us life.

Do not wait all of your life to make your mother happy always do it!

Today many children remember their mothers only when they see them at the funeral, sorry that they did not give them everything they wanted when they were alive.

Sorry that they were distant, indifferent, and ungrateful.

If you still have your mother by your side, take care of her and make her happy.

If, maybe you have had an argument, then today, the moment or reconciliation has arrived.

There is only one mom in the world, let’s not have regrets for not making them proud of us when we could.

When a mother says she needs to sleep, don’t tell her that you too didn’t sleep because of the heat.

When a mother asks for help, don’t just give her the minimum required.

When a mother says that she is tired, she means that she is already tired beyond her limits,

she has been tired for who knows how long.

When a mother says she needs to sleep, she means that she hasn’t slept for months, sometimes years, so much so that perhaps she is no longer able to sleep.

When a mother asks for help, she means that she has already done everything possible and even more,

It means that she needs to eat, to drink to wash,

It means that she has already canceled herself for too long.

When a mother asks she has already made an effort that she shouldn’t have to make.

Mothers should be told I’m here, I see you, I appreciate you, I know what you do.

Come and I’ll hug you.

A man was offered a job in another state.

He decided to take his mother to a local nursing home.

For the first three months, he came to see her every weekend

But then he kept getting busier and busier.

He even worked on Saturday to have a higher salary at the end of the month.

Traveling such a long way to his home state every weekend started to feel like a burden to him.

It has been a very long time since he last saw his mother…

One day he received a phone call from the nursing home.

“Please come to visit!” The nurse said to him with a very serious tone.

He arrived to find that the condition of his mother was very critical.

Her illness got much more severe while he was busy earning money,

He sat down beside her bed, took her hand, and said, “Mom, please tell me what can I do for you?”

His heart ached with sadness and regret. He knew she might not make it to tomorrow.

“My son, can you install fans in the nursing home? There’s no fans here,” she said.

“Also put a fridge for betterment for food. There are many times I have to sleep without food.”

The son was completely taken by surprise as he listened to her.

“Mom, while you were here you never complained about those things.”

“Now when you have only a few hours left, why are you telling me all of this?” he questioned.

The mother gave him a gentle smile, “My dear, I’m alright with heat, hunger, and pain.”

“But when you get old and your children send you here, I’m afraid you will not be able to manage.”

The son broke into tears. He bent down to hug his mother asking for her forgiveness.

Love your parents and treat them with love and care. You will only know their value when you see their empty chair.

Parents.

When our parents were there we never cared.

When we wanted to take care of them, they weren’t there.

Before it’s too late. Love and care for them.
