The faults and virtues of the fathers
My son,
I write today, when there is still hope to meet you one day of this life. I am writing as a young man, until I have time, before work or other things (hope not), I take away time for you when you will know. Today I think when you get to be my greatest achievement, more than any degree, a book published, a certain girl to love and I hope you are the fruit of true and sincere of two people who want to make a long path life and dedicate it to you every attention that it deserves, without ever forgetting what you have been desired.
I am writing today because even when we talk, when you're a teenager or even after, I probably forgot it was me I'll live to that age and how difficult it is to be understood by parents.
I hope you're good at studies, which will meet soon love, it gives you hell every now and just want to talk to me. I hope that you will not miss in some dark way of life, but know that if it happens I'll be ready to find you and put you on the path of light.
I hope you enjoy traveling and learning, reading and explore. But even if it will not, you'll always be my son and that's what counts. I hope you do not ever forget me, though maybe there will be days when you will be able to hate me.
Now I greet you, waiting impatiently for the day when I'll be ready to welcome you.
With all my affection,
your father
