Hello,
A beautiful text that invites reflection: let us take care of our dear parents, for the love and patience they have shown us. 
My child,
On the day you find that I have become very old, try to be patient with me and try to understand me.
If I get messy while eating, if I have trouble getting dressed, be patient! Remember the hours I spent teaching you all sorts of things when you were little
If I repeat the same thing dozens of times, don't interrupt me! Listen to me! When you were little, you wanted me to read you the same story, night after night, until you fell asleep. And I did!
If I don’t shower as often anymore, don’t scold me and don’t tell me it’s shameful. Remember how many excuses I had to make up to get you to take a bath when you were little.
Seeing my ignorance regarding new technologies, don't mock me, but rather give me time to understand. I have taught you so many things: how to eat well, how to dress well, how to present yourself, how to confront life's problems.
If I occasionally lack memory or fail to follow a conversation, please give me the time I need to remember, and if I can't, don't become nervous and arrogant, because what matters most to me is being with you and being able to talk to you!
If I refuse to eat, don’t force me! I know very well when I’m hungry and when I’m not. When my poor legs no longer allow me to move the way I used to, help me in the same way I held your hands to teach you to take your first steps. And one day, when I tell you that I no longer want to live, that I want to die, don’t be angry, because one day you will understand in your turn!
Try to understand that at a certain age, you no longer truly live! You simply survive!
One day, you will understand that despite all my mistakes, I always wanted what was best for you and was preparing the ground for when you were grown up.
You must not feel sad, unhappy, or incompetent in the face of my old age and my condition. You must stay by my side, try to understand what I am going through, and do your best, just as I did when you were born.
Help me walk, help me end my life with love and dignity
The only way I have left to thank you is with a smile and lots of love for you
I love you
Your father.
