孩子，当我渐渐老去的时候

这是一位父亲写给他孩子的一封信……“孩子… 当你看到我日渐老去,身体也渐渐不行,请耐着性子试着理解我…… 如果我吃东西的时候弄的脏兮兮,如果我不会穿衣服…… 有耐心一点…… 你记得我曾花了多长时间教会你这些事吗?……” 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 cannot 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…
