Having a child at any age, and having to watch them grow up, is hard for anybody. But, it’s even harder knowing that you won’t be able to see your child grow up at all.
Alberto Cormillot, an eighty-three-year-old nutritionist, has just had a baby boy with his thirty-five-year-old wife, and he’s heartbroken that he has to live the rest of his life knowing that he won’t see his son grow up.
His wife, Estefania Pasquini, who is forty-eight years younger than Cormillot, became pregnant through fertility treatment, as per the New York Post.
And although Cormillot won’t get to see his son, Emilio, grow older, it doesn’t stop him from experiencing all the things he can with him, while he’s still living happily and gratefully.
“I’m aware that life is not infinite. That little guy’s here and I’m going to accompany him until a certain moment,” he began.
“Until that happens I plan to enjoy every day to the fullest and make plans that are more short-term, which means I enjoy every day as fully as I can,” he continued.
The eighty-three-year-old father also makes sure that he has a number of things to leave for his son…
Including voice recordings. So, when he is older, and without his father, he can still hear his voice. How adorable is that?
“That means that although he still really is a baby, he has a phone number with WhatsApp in which I record audio and send him videos,” he explained. “I don’t over-dramatize things, I just record the reality of life.”
The now-9-month-old baby boy is being taught a lot by his dad and his mom of course… This includes learning the Chinese language.
Explaining why he wants his son to learn Chinese, he expressed: “As it is the language of the future, I want him to get used to hearing it as a child and he will find it easier to learn it better when he grows up.”
The 9-month-old isn’t his only offspring, though. Cormillot has 2 grown sons from his marriage to his first wife, who sadly passed away in 2017. The dad to newborn Emilio also has 3 grandchildren.
No matter what, Emilio will always know his dad will love him for eternity.
