孩子，当我渐渐老去的时候

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…
