The day that you see me old
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 can not 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. If ever I do not
want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.
When my tired legs do not allow me walk, give me your hand the same way
I did when you gave your first steps. And when someday 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 survived.
Some day you will discover that,
despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I
tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or
impotent for seeing me near you. You must be next 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
pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you son.
Your father
