"I don't want to burden you. I know I'm a hypocrite. But... You do so much for me. Asking for any more... I can't. It's not that I think you're only interested in the good things or happy times. I have never once even considered that.

You're already always there looking out for me. At my age shouldn't it be the other way around?

Even if you disagree with that, I still don't want you to spend your time worrying about me."
