 My life is likely to last 10-15
years. Any seperation from you will be very painful.
 . Give me time to understand what
you want from 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 as 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 and when
it's speaking.
Be aware that however you treat
me, I'll never forget it.
Before you hit me, remember I
have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your
hand, but I choose not to bite you, because I love 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;
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.

newspaper and thought that everyone should read it.)
