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?
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 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.
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."
