Dear son,

The day that you see me old, have patience and try to understand me.

　 If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not 　36 me, listen to me. When you were 　37 , 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 　38 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to 　39 you with thousand excuses I invented 　40 you wanted to take a bath.

　 When you see my 41 on new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look 42 me with your mocking smile. I taught you 　43 　to do so many things —to eat well, to dress well, and to face life.

　　 When 　44 　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, 　45 the most important thing is not my conversation but 　46 to be with you and to have you listening to me .

47 I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.

　 When my 　48 legs do not allow me walk, give me your hand, the same way I 　49 when you gave your first 　50.

　 And when some day I say to you that I do not want to live any more, and that I want to die, do not get angry. Some day you will understand. Try to understand that my age is not lived but 　　51 . Some day you will discover that, 　52 my mistakes, I always wanted the　 53 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you .You must not feel sad , angry or helpless　 for seeing me near you. You must be 　54 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 55 you by a smile and by the love I have had always for you .

I love you, son.
