Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I spent 1 it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 2 the same things thousand and one times, do not 3 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 4 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase(追逐) you with thousand excuses I 5 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 6 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking( 嘲弄 ) smile. I taught you how to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life(面对生活)….
When at some moment I lose the 7 , let me have the necessary time to remember. When my 8 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hands, the same way I did when you gave your first 9 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 10 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get 11 . Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite(尽管) my mistakes, I always wanted the 12 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent( 无可奈何 ) for seeing me 13 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 14 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 15 .
I love you, Son.
