Read her beautiful story below and share it with someone you love - we all need a little perspective like this every now and again.
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?

The day you see me 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, the most important thing for me is to be with you.

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."
