Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
Before you hit me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet I choose not to.
Before you scold me for being uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food or I might have health issues.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
On the ultimate difficult journey, be with me please. Don’t say you can’t bear to watch. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
