- My life
is likely to last 10 to 15 years.
Any separation from you will be very
painful.
- Give me
time to understand what you want of me.
- Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my
well-being.
- Don't be angry with me for
long, and don't lock me up for punishment.
- You have your
work, your friends, your entertainment. I HAVE ONLY YOU!
- Talk to
me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to
me
- Be aware that however you treat
me, I'll NEVER forget it.
- Before you hit
me, remember that I have teeth that could crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite
you.
- Before you scold me for being lazy or
uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering
me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I've been out in the sun too
long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
- Take care of me when I get old.
You, too, will grow old.
Go with me on difficult
journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch it",
or, "let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for ME if you are
there.
Remember, I love you.
