Dear Son &
Daughter...

2
The day that you see me old and I am already not,
Please have patience and try to understand me …
3
If I repeat the same things
again and again…Please do
not interrupt me… try to listen
to me.

When you were small, I had to

read to you thousand and one
times the same story until you
fell asleep… 4
If I get dirty when eating… and if I can not dress…
Please have patience.
Remember, the hours I spent teaching them to you.

5
 When I do not
want to have a
shower, neither
shame me nor
scold me…

Remember, when
I had to chase
you with thousand
and one excuses I
had to invent in
order to convince
you to bathe… 6
 When you see my
ignorance on new
technologies… Please
give me the
necessary time and
not look at me with
your mocking smile… 7
I taught you how to do so many things… to eat
good, to dress well… to confront life… 8
When I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation…
Please let me have the necessary time to remember…

… and if I cannot do it, do not get nervous… as the most

important thing is not my conversation
but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…

9
If ever I do not want to eat, Please do
not force me.
I know well, when I need to have and
when not to. 10
When my tired legs do
not allow me to walk...

11
 …Please give me your hand… the
same way I did when you had your 12
first steps.
 You must not feel sad, angry or
helpless for seeing me near you.
I always wish that you will be
next to me and please try to
understand and help me as I did it
when you started living.

13
And when someday I say to you
that I do not want to live any
more… Please do not get angry… 14
Some day you will understand.
 Please try to
understand that
my age is not
lived but
survived.

15
Some day you will discover that, despite my harshness at
times, I always wanted the best things for you and that I
tried to prepare the way for you.. 16
Please help me to walk… and 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.

17
I love you dear son
I love you my dear daughter……...

Your father
