老護作業-父與子
Father & son 父與子
Dear son: 親愛的兒子
The day that you see me old and already not, have patience and try to understand me. 當有一天你看到我已年紀老邁，而我已不再有耐性的時候，請你嘗試去了解我。
If I get dirty when eating….if I can not dress…have patience,
Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. 如果我吃飯吃得亂七八糟，如果我沒有能力自己穿衣服的話，請你要有耐心。回憶過去我教導你的時光。
If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same thing thousand and one times…do not interrupt me…listen to me. 在我跟你說話時，如果我把同一件事情重覆了一千零一次的時候，不要打斷我的話，要聽下去。
When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep. 當你還很小的時候，我要把同一個故事重覆一千零一次，直到你睡著了。
When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…當我不想要洗澡，不要侮辱我或罵我。
Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you want to bath…記得我要想盡一千個藉口來哄你，才讓你想要洗澡。
When you see my ignorance on new technologies…give me the necessary time and not look at me your mocking smile…當你看到我對新科技的無知時，給我所需的時間，不要嘲笑我。
I taught you how to do many things…to eat good, to dress well
…to confront life…我過去教你做很多的事情，吃得好，穿得好，及面對生命。
When at some moment I loss 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... 當我有時候忘記一些回憶或我們對話中的條理，給我所需的時間去想起來... 若我還不能想起來，不要急躁，因為最重要不是我們的對話，是我們相處的時刻以及你的聆聽。
If everI do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when
I need to and when not. 如果我不想吃，不要逼我，我深知我什麼時候要，什麼時候不。
When my tired legs do not allow me walk…give me your hand
…the same way I did when you gave your first steps. 當疲乏的雙腳不容許我走路時，伸手幫助我，就如你剛學步時我幫你一樣。
And when some day I say to you that I do not want to live any more…that I want to die…do not get angry …some day you will understand…還有當有一天我告訴你我不想活了... 我想要死... 不要生氣，有一天你會明白...
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. 嘗試了解我這把年紀已不是生活而是倖存。
Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always
Wanted the lost thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way
for you. 有一天你會發現雖然我有過錯，我仍希望把最好的給你，我也嘗試為此給你準備道路。
You must not feel sad, angry or impotent for seeing me near you.
You must be next to me, try to understand me and be help me as I did
It when you started living, 你不可以因看到我親近你而感到悲傷，憤怒或不耐煩。你一定要在我旁邊，嘗試了解我，幫助我，就如你剛開始生活時我幫助你一樣。
Help me to walk…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. 幫我走路...幫我在臨終時有愛與忍耐。我會以微笑及一直對你無比的愛來回報你。
I love you son…我愛你，兒子...
