WHEN PARENTS GET OLD…
Let them grow old with the same love they raised you with.
Let them talk and tell stories over and over again with the same patience and interest they listened to you as a child.
Let them win, as they have often let you win.
Let them enjoy their friends, conversations with their grandchildren…
Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you are tearing pieces of their life .
Let them make mistakes, as you have done so many times.
LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy on the last leg of their journey, the same way they shook your hand when you started yours.”
– Pablo Neruda
