the letter from the parents send to the children

Dear us children,

The one day when your parents are old you should try patient to understand your parents. If your parents have a careless while eating or if your parents meet a lot of difficulties in walking, wearing or any other activites daily. Please generous with your parents !

Please think about the days , the times your parents spent for you when you were only little bodies . Your parents taught for you anything about new your life.

if your parents still repeat the same thing several times, please don't  break down us words ! Please listen to your parents !

When you were are a child , us dears still force us to reread the story to us children easy to fall down a good sleep...and your parents done that for us angels.

If your parents can't take a shower by themselves regularly. Please, don't complain about that and don't say that it is a embarrassed thing.

Please, remember... when you were little , your parents had to think hard about interesting things to tell you with a hope you agreed go to bath.

When you realize the shortage from knowledge of your parents in fully modern and civilized life. please, disappointed ! Let's give your parents time to learn. Please, don't laugh at your parents because of lack of understanding about computer, Internet or other modern facilities and services. If your parents like to study about them,please guide for your parents how to use them or if your parents aren't interested in these ,please don't oblige us to study.

Your parents taught for you anything from eating, wearing to how to face and pass difficulties in life. If your parents have more forgetfulness or can't remember anythings which you said to us, please, give us more time to think of them and if your parents can't recall most of things please, don't angry or annoy with your parents...because the most important thing with parents now that see you and live with you and hear from you everyday. It is really the most happiness in the short of your parent's life.

If your parents don't want to eat , please don't compel us to take all meals because we know when we feel hungry.

When us legs can't stand up in the ground strongly as the past... please, help us, please take us hands as well as what we done for you before. Your parents took your hands and taught you the first steps. Do you know how your parents feelings when saw you get first steps? Really very happy and we always proud of your development, efforts. Although your legs aren't steady, we are willing to support you, we always stand beside you anytime.

And one day as one day certainly will come, your parents want to say you that your parents don't want to live, we want to say goodbye us dears.

Please, don't sorrow and blame your parents why we decide to leave you forever. You will understand the answer when it comes you later.

Please try to understand and accept it, us dears ! When we are old we live without useful for society that only are burdens for our family and society. And if we can live it is a meaningless because that time us life only include in the word “existence”. Don't feel regretful and stop thinking that you are powerless when witness us leave.

One day when you are mature you know that anybody didn't use to get mistakes. With many wrong things that no one never met before and your parents spent us a lot of times and effort to build for you a road peacefully. Please, don't throw away all achievements that we hope by you.

Please help your parents in steps of the late afternoon days!

Please help your parents in short time by your love and patience !

And now your parents would like to say we thank you because of your smiles and your love !

Love you so much ! Us children !

Your parents ,
