A reminder for myself and everyone... (for better view/effect, go to: http://parentswish.com/site02/index.html )
Pamela...
On the day when you see us old, weak and weary… have patience and try to understand us…
If we get dirty when eating… if we cannot dress up on our own…Please bear with us and remember the times we spent feeding and dressing you up.
If, when we speak to you, we repeat the same things over and over again…do not interrupt us… listen to us. When you were small, we had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you went to sleep…
When we do not want to have a shower, neither shame nor scold us… remember when we had to chase you with your thousand excuses to get you to the shower…
When you see our ignorance on new technologies… Help us navigate our way through those worldwide webs.
We taught you how to do so many things…to eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, to fight for your rights…
When at some moments we lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let us have the necessary time to remember… and if we cannot, do not become nervous…as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to us…
If ever we do not want to eat, do not force us. We know well when to and when not to.
When our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane… lend us your hand… the same way we did when you first tried your faltering steps.
And when someday we say to you that we do not want to live anymore… that we want to die… do not get angry… someday you will understand… try to understand that our age is not lived but survived.
Some day you will realize that, despite our mistakes, we always wanted the best thing for you and we tried to prepare the way for you…
You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for seeing us near you. Instead, try to understand us and help us like we did when you were young.
Help us to walk... Help us to end our way with love and dignity. We will pay you by a smile and by the immense love we have always had for you in our heart.

hulllooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....
good morning....
was it morning?
oh, wait, I cant tell....the windows locked shut. :P
Anyway, I'm just browsing through your blogs, that's all. And lucky I found at least SOMEONE from someplace I know. Wheeeee!!!
Someplace I know where every client to that small clinic would return the favour of their doctors by leaving a 'beauty spot' right on the flower beds near their cars that made the doctors go "what-the-hell?"
one place where you could find horses, cows, goats, birds and other mutant-type fishes at an area less than Winne the Pooh's 100-Acre Wood.
And oh, by the way, before you start to panic, I'm a girl. Nineteen. junior at your college. (probably that's not important) I will not grad for at least a few years. So, congrats to you. (I imagine myself graduating in a granny-like stature at the age of 35. Nyahaha. i'm not the smart type)
anyway, I don't know you. and you don't know me.
we crossed path a few times...and that's how I know your blog. From where? I saw them....??
If I say my full name, I might ring a bell. But I'd rather not,nah. And don't tell anyone I have a blog. With x-rated contents on my blog, I'd rather not my dad coming after me with a Rambo dagger.(well, he's not that violent, but you understand)
by the way, if you read my blog, most of them does not make sense, even if it's true. It's my motto, anyway: that some people are NOT what they seem. Don't be fooled by the nice towering trees and gliding squirrels around the campus. It's not what they seem!
