Time's Goodbyes..... ♪ Lennon Sisters - Que Sera Sera ♪
LETTER FROM A MOTHER TO A DAUGHTER:
"My lovely, when you see I’m getting older, please be as loving as you always are,
patient and kind, as you try to understand there's a lot of stuff I’m going through.
With every change, I am adjusting my identity
just like you do when moving though life's alterations.
If when we talk, I repeat the same thing, don’t worry to say:
“You said that a minute ago”... Just ignore my memory, and be soft.
Sometimes I may ask you to help me remember something.
Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story
night after night until you would fall asleep.

If I lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember,
and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or think I don't know, just let it pass.
Just trust your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.
We don't have to get the facts right.
I feel sad I cannot help you as I used to be able to, that hurts me greatly.
I don't want to grow old any more than you want me too, but
I am a normal mother doing what normal mothers do - trying to cope with change.
When I don’t want to do something or go shopping, or I trip, or turn the wrong way
don’t be too frustrated, nor tease or embarrass me.
Its a huge effort to get ready and carry out routine activities, I may feel too tired.
It all may feel painful, with aches here and there.
Remember when I had to help you get done what has to be done
when you were just a girl struggling with work too hard to accomplish.
Don't feel you need to give sweets and chocolate, thinking that cheers me.
for treats like fruit and coconut milkshakes will keep me healthier, so I can sleep well.
Don't think I need much, for just company, or a quick call is what I need the most.

When you see how I don't understand new technology and the new language for it,
give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way... remember,
how mothers patiently teach many things like eating, getting dressed,
combing hair and dealing with life’s issues every day...
During this time you hear and see me getting old,
I know it hurts, Life is confusing, I understand that's why you sometimes get distant or irritated.
I know its hard watching me lose function
for change is occurring, (you have the ability now that I used to have..)
It takes time to adjust to a different mother.
I know you cannot feel what I feel,
but as you watch you'll learn the reality of aging and what really matters.
I too need to look past appearance and value relationship instead of
things like hair, clothes and shoes that constantly change.
Don't be afraid to help me choose clothes and keep myself looking the best I can.
I appreciate the help, for I don't see what is about in the shops so much now..

And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before,
give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked.
Don't be afraid of my aging, embrace it, we will move through this time,
if we believe in the forever that is ours to keep-
and you will accept your aging better when it comes for you
if you work through the feelings of it as we go..
As those days come, we will feel sad... just be with me,
and we will trust God while I get to the end of my life with love.
I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared.
With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say,
thank you for all we share together,
I thank God every day for blessing me with such a precious treasure as you.
I love you... my darling daughter."
