Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I __36__, in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my __37__ little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you how to do so many things: to eat food, to __38__well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the __39__or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become __40__, as the most important thing is not our 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 __41__ I need to and when not. When my __42__ legs do not allow me to walk, give me your __43__, the same way I did when you gave your first __44__. And when some day I say to you that I do not want to __45__ any more --- that I want to rest forever, 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, __46__ my mistakes, I always wanted the _47__ thing for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me __48__ you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you__49__ a living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and __50__. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
