This my father told me when I was alone with him, always claimed the same things ... as I miss you old ...

The day you see me old, if I get dirty when I eat and I can not get dressed ... have patience, please! Remember all the time you spend to teach you how to eat.If when I speak I always repeat the same thing, do not interrupt me ... listen to me, when you were a child, you asked me to tell you the same story every night until you fell a sleep. When I do not want to wash, do not get mad and do not embarrass me ... remember when I had to run after you, while you made a thousand excuses not to bathe. When you see my ignorance about new technologies, give me the necessary time do not look at me with that ironic smile, remember my patience to teach you the alphabet. When at some point I can not remember or lose the thread of the conversation ... give me the necessary time to remember and if I do not succeed, do not get nervous ... the most important thing is not what I say, but the need to be with you, to feel close to you and see you listen to me. When my tired legs do not allow me to follow your step do not treat me like a weight, come closer, offer me your strong hands in the same way I did once when you took your first steps. When I say that I would like to die ... do not get mad, one day you will understand what it is that leads me to say it. Try to understand that at my age there is not much to look forward to and sometimes fatigue, pain or loneliness change your life for survival. One day you will discover that in spite of my mistakes, I always wanted the best for you, that always try to ease your path. Give me a little of your time, give me a little of your patience, give me a shoulder on which to rest my head in the same way that I did for you. Help me to walk, help me finish my days feeling loved ... and instead I will give you a smile and all the immense love I always had for you.
