When Parents Get Old…

Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow up …

Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child …

Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win …

Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you …

Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them …

Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away …

Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you …

LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!
