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(v.以为耻) me nor scold(v.指责,责骂) me…
Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented(v.编造), 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(adj.嘲笑的) smile…
I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront(v.面对) life…

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(adj.无力的,虚弱的) 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 love I have had always for you.

I love you son…
Your father

孩子，

如果有一天我年华老去，变得体力不支时，请给些耐心，并试着理解我……
如果我吃东西时弄脏了，如果我不能穿衣服了，给我些耐心。
要记住，昔日，我曾花时间教会你这些。
如果我和你千遍万遍地重复讲着同样的话，不要打断我。
在你小的时候，我曾经千遍万遍地为你讲故事，直到你睡着……
如果我不想洗澡，不要羞辱我或责骂我。
要记住，曾经我追着你跑，并编出千万种借口哄你洗澡……
如果你看到我不懂得新兴的科技，给我一些时间接受，不要嘲弄似地笑话我……
我教会了你这么多东西：教你吃饭，教你穿好衣服，教你如何面对生活……

有一天你会发现，尽管我会犯些错误，但我总是把最好的东西留给你，并想办法为你铺好路……
当看见我在你身边时，不要感到悲伤、生气或是无能为力。你要伴我左右，试着理解我，并扶助我，就像你最开始生活时我为你所做的一切一样……
扶着我走路，用爱和耐心帮我走完剩下的日子。我将用微笑和一直不变的无尽的爱回报你。
我爱你，孩子。

你的父亲
