There was a boy who was sent by his parents to a boarding school (寄宿学校).   36   being sent away, this boy was the   37   student in his class. He was at the top in every   38   always with high marks.
But the boy changed after   39   home and attending the boarding school. His grades started   40  . He hated being in a   41  . He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he   42   committing suicide (自杀). All of this was because he felt   43   and no one loved him.
His parents started   44   about the boy. But they even did not know what was   45  with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and   46   him.
They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him some casual questions about his classes, teachers and   47  . After some time his dad said, “Do you know, son, why I am here today?”
The boy answered back, “To   48   my grades?”
“No, no,” his dad replied. “I am here to tell you that you are the most   49   person for me. I want to see you   50  . I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”
These words   51   the boy’s eyes to be filled with tears. He   52   his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had   53   he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He   54   the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him   55  !

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44  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 our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get ___51__. Someday 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   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and  55  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son
Your father
