Nuala Quinn-Barton Shares a Poignant Post

May your children never forget!

DON’T FORGET WHAT I DID FOR YOU!

If one day you will see me old: if I get dirty when I eat and I can’t get dressed,
have patience, remember the time I spent teaching you.

If when I talk to you I always repeat the same things,
don’t interrupt me, listen to me.
When you were a kid, I had to tell you the same story every night until you fell asleep.

When you see my ignorance of new technologies, give me the necessary time and don’t look at me with that ironic smile.
I had all the patience to teach you the ABC.

When at some point I can’t remember or lose the thread of the speech,
give me the time to remember and if I can’t, I won’t get nervous, the most important thing isn’t what I say but my need to be with you and have you there listening to me

When my tired legs, don’t allow me to keep up, don’t treat me like a burden.
Come towards me with your strong hands in the same way I did with you when you took your first steps.

One day you will discover that despite my mistakes, I have always wanted the best for you and that I have tried to pave the way for you.

Give me some of your time, give me a shoulder to rest your head on the same way I did it for you.

Help me walk, help me end my days with love.
I love you my daughter and I pray for you, even when you ignore me.
