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, 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 angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  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.
