《当我老了》---写给孩子的一封信

当我老了,不再是原来的我。
请理解我,对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时,
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时,
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语,
请耐心地听我说,不要打断我。
你从小的时候,我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事,
直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时,请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗?

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时,请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。

当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时,
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时,我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题,请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说,谈论什么并不重要,
只要你能在一旁听我说,我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我,请不要悲伤。
理解我,支持我,就像你刚开始
学习如何生活时我对你那样。

当初我引导你走上人生的路,
如今请陪我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心,我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

Nicole,

我有个朋友也是介绍过我看这个forum, 我觉得很有意义也很感动。
我也看过英文版的,还印了出来,要回家找找。如果找到,我post上来让你看看,ok

希望那些孩子包括我们在内,会珍惜我们的父母,不要等他们离开后,才来后悔!

谢谢你的分享

Nobody will know what will happen in future and Whether our kids will take care of us in future or not! But what we can do now is to take care of our parents now. So be patient to our parents and also elderly!Precious them when they are still around!

Thanks for sharing!

我觉得别想以后我们的孩子会怎样对我们,想想现在我们怎样对我们的父母,做个好榜样给孩子看,孩子就不会太让我们失望.

Hi Nicole,

hi XueLi, Eileen, Oink, Anthony, 娃娃, Michelle, Adeline & May,

不用客气!有好文章就要和朋友分享嘛!我要谢谢 Kate 的 email, 之前有在权大妈的部落格看到了。

其实说真的,不要去想我们的后代会怎样对我们,我们现在就应该要做好我们自己做儿女的本分。

现在的人真的是越来越没有人情味了,有时你掏心掏肺的对一个人好,但是那个人未必会珍惜,他/她只认为是应该的。

希望我们大家都要好好的珍惜身边的人,事和物。

Hi Nicole

I saw this message before, when I first read & heard it, it's very touching. I found the messages carry a lot of realistic facts & very meaningful. Indeed, all parents the same, took a lot of patience, pains, effors, sacrifices to bring up their kids, but when the parents grow old & weak, they only hope the children take care of them & spend time with them as they have taken care of them before. However, some unfilial chidren turn their back to the children once their parents grow old, feeble, sick, penniless or become of not much use to them. How sad...so sorry for the parents...parents should not over-pampered their children but guide them to become better persons, all boil down to proper upbringing & sharing of values.
