2.  For our Fathers’ Day Translated by Bosco Truong

3. My dear daughter...or My dear Son...

4. The day you find me getting too old, try to be patient toward me and to understand me.

5. If I get messy while eating…or If I feel difficulty while dressing me …Be patient, please ! Remember yourself the time I spent to teaching you all sorts of things when you were a child.

6. If I keep repeating the same things a dozen times, please, don’t interrupt me, just listen to me ! When you were a child, you used to let me read over and over the same story, evening after evening until you fell asleep. And I have done it for you!

7. If I don’t take a shower so often, please don’t reproach me and don’t tell me it’s shameful. Remember yourself how many ideas I had to invent in order to get you in a bathtub when you were a child.

8. When you see my ignorance of the electronic devices, don’t despise me ! However let me have time to learn them !

9. I taught you so many things, good behavior, good and modest dressing…and how to face the problems of this life…

10. If it happens to me to lack memory or to be unable to follow a conversation… let me get some time to remember… and if I don’t get it, don’t be nervous and arrogant… for the most important thing for me is being with you and talking with you.

11. If I don’t want to eat, please don’t try to force me ! I still know pretty well when I am hungry and when I am not.

12. When my poor legs won’t let me move around as before…

13. …Please help me the same way I used to hold your hands to teach you how to make your first step.

14. And one day when I tell you that I don’t want to live any longer,,,that I want to die…don’t get angry… because one day you, too will understand that

15. Try to understand that at a certain age, people do not live easily, but they do simply survive !

16. One day, you will understand that despite all of my mistakes, I have always wanted only what is the best for you, and that I get the conditions good and ready for when you grow up.

17. You must not get sad, unhappy or missunderstanding in place of my oldness and my status. You have to stay near me, try to understand while I am living, and to try your best as I have done at your birth.

18. Help me to walk… Help me to finish my life with Love and Patience. The only remaining way for me to thank you is my Smile and a lot of my Love.

19. I love you… My daughter or my son ! Your Dad
