Dear son...
The day that you see me old and I am already not , have patience and try to understand me …If I get dirty when eating… if I can not dress… have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times… do not interrupt me… listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep…When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…
Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath…When you see my ignorance on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile…I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my tired legs do not allow me walk... give me your hand… the same way I did when you gave your first steps.
And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more… that I want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand…
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.
Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you..
You must not feel sad, angry or impatient for seeing me near you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you started living.
Help me to walk… help me to end my way with love and patience. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you son…
Your father
親愛的兒子
哪天你看到我日漸老去,身體也漸漸不行,請對我有耐心和試著了解我
如果我吃東西掉滿地或弄得髒兮兮 或者我無法自己穿衣服... 請你有耐心
並想想當初我為了教你花了多少時間
如果當我跟你說話, 我再重覆敘說千次以上的事 請你不中斷我 繼續聽我說完
想想當你還小, 我必須一次又一次說你聽過千次以上的故事哄你睡覺
當我不想洗澡, 不要羞辱我也別責罵我
想想當初為了要讓你洗澡 我必須每天追著你跑還得想些奇怪的理由
當你看到我的無知 請你給我時間學習並且別用那種嘲笑的眼光看我
想想當初我教會你如何做事 吃東西 穿衣服 甚至於面對人生
當有時我想不起來該說或我們正在說什麼 請給我時間回想 甚至如果我想不起來 也請你不要急 因為最重要的事不是我們的交談的內容 而是能跟你在一起
如果我不想吃東西 不要逼我
我清楚的知道什麼時候我必須吃 什麼時候不必吃
當我疲累的腿不再幫我行動
請對我伸出援手
就像當初你學走路時我幫你的樣子
如果哪天我對你說我不想活了 我想死 請你別生氣 總有一天你會了解的
請你試著瞭解 到我這樣的年齡 並不是為了生活 而是為了存活
有一天你會發現 儘管我的做錯了 我總想要給你最好的 盡量為你鋪陳往後的路
當你看見我在你附近 你不必感到哀傷 惱怒或不耐煩 您必須陪著我 試著了解我和幫助我 如同我幫助你開始你的人生一樣
幫助我走這段路
扶我一把 用愛和耐心陪我走人生的最後一段路
我將用微笑 和我始終不變 無邊無際的愛來回報你
孩子 我愛你
