Soms is het beter iets moois te verliezen, beter verliezen, dan dat je het nooit hebt gehad

Expose yourself to your deepest fear

After that...you are free

vandaag heb ik appels met peren vergeleken...

't was een eitje.

Uit FB over de zorg aan ouderen. Kwestie van geduld en begrip tonen. Brief moeder aan dochter:

 

My dear girl, the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don't interrupt to say: "You said the same thing a minute ago"... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep.

When I don't want to take a bath, don't be mad and don't embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?

When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don't look at me that way ... remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life's issues every day... the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through.

If I occasionally 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 arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.

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. When those days come, don't feel sad... just be with me, and understand me 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, I love you ... my darling daughter.

I think My guardian Angel stopped drinking...Ik heb zoveel geluk gehad met precies op de juiste momenten de juiste mensen te ontmoeten....zo erg dat ik niet meer in toeval geloof.

Maar genoeg gepraat dit topic draait om uitspraken. Ik deel op fb dagelijk zo 5-10 uitspraken, ik ben er gek op en als ik ff op vakantie ga ligt dit topic ook gelijk stil. Valt me tegen van jullie :-) Maar bij deze dus weer een verse voor het topic.



 

 

Erik, waar ben je???
