孩子，当我渐渐老去的时候
“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…
