父母老了，你还爱他们吗？
你是从什么时候觉得父母老了？
看到他们两鬓斑白的时候。
觉得他们记性越来越差的时候。
他们都不再跟你吵架了。
他们越来越像个小孩子。
他们吃的药越来越多越来越多。
你说什么他们都听不懂。
还是，你在看到这个问题就觉得难过的时候。
毫无疑问，我们大多数人都是爱自己父母的，小时候写作文都是写《我的爸爸》、《我的妈妈》，长大后无论学习还是工作都想着要让父母自豪，要报答父母。
可是父母老了，你还爱他们吗？
他们一遍遍记不得你说过的话，你是不是有不耐烦过。
他们一次次听不见你说的话，你是不是有朝他们吼过。
他们想跟你聊天的时候，你是不是觉得他们什么都不懂好无聊。
你对父母的爱是否像他们对你的一样深呢？
一封来自父母的信，当他们老了——
