這是一位父親寫給他孩子的一封信……
    “孩子…
    當你看到我日漸老去,身體也漸漸不行,請耐著性子試著理解我……
    如果我吃東西的時候弄的臟兮兮,如果我不會穿衣服……
    有耐心一點……
    你記得我曾花了多長時間教會你這些事嗎?……”
    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 cannot 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 me nor scold me…
    Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, 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 smile…
    I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront life…
    When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread 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 my
    conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…
