From the postcards

编者按: 电影《返老还童》中，在所有人都苦于岁月带给他们的衰老之时，本杰明·巴顿却犹如返老还童一般逆生长，与此同时，巴顿与所爱之人的关系也遭遇了种种难以逾越的障碍。他认为自己这种怪人无法成为一个好爸爸，会成为家庭负累，于是将所有积蓄留给妻子和女儿，独自流浪。但他仍深爱着女儿，便每年都给女儿寄一张明信片，告诉她一个父亲想说的话。

I wish I could have kissed you good night.

I wish I could have taken you to your first day of school,

I wish I could have been there to teach you to play the piano.

I wish I could have told you not to chase some boys.

I wish I could have held you when you had a broken heart.

I wish I could have been your father.Nothing I ever did will replace that.

For what it's worth,it's never too late.

Or in my case,too early,to be whoever you want to be.

There is no time limit,start whenever you want.

You can change or stay the same.

There are no rules to this thing.

We can make the best or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it.

And I hope you see things that startle you.

I hope you feel things you never felt before.

I hope you meet people with a different point of view.

I hope you live a life you're proud of.

If you find that you're not,

I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
