47 I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.
When my 48 legs do not allow me walk, give me your hand, the same way I 49 when you gave your first 50.
And when some day I say to you that I do not want to live any more, and that I want to die, do not get angry. Some day you will understand. Try to understand that my age is not lived but 51 . Some day you will discover that, 52 my mistakes, I always wanted the 53 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you .You must not feel sad , angry or helpless for seeing me near you. You must be 54 to me , try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you started living . Help me to walk , help me to end my way with love and patience . I will 55 you by a smile and by the love I have had always for you .
