An 83-year-old man just had a baby with his wife and said that he lives knowing he ‘will never get to see my son grow up’.
Nutrition expert Alberto Cormillot said he and his wife Estefania Pasquini, 35, started planning for their child’s future when they found out that they were expecting.
The grandfather-of-three even hired a Chinese language tutor for their tot as he wanted their son to learn Chinese which he called ‘the language of the future.’
In addition to learning Chinese, Dr. Cormillot is also teaching his son to play the organ, adding that he was always thinking about how he can best prepare his child for the future while he’s still breathing.
“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 said.
“I’m encouraging him to crawl for example.”
Dr. Cormillot has two adult sons, Adrian and Rennee, and three granddaughters. His first wife passed away in 2017.
Estefania, a nutritionist, became pregnant with their child after undergoing fertility treatment.
Her husband said that he’s planning how to make the most of their time together as he wants to leave his son with great memories.
He also leaves audio messages for his tot to listen to in the future.
“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 shared.
“I don’t over-dramatize things,” Dr. Cormillot said. “I just record the reality of life.”
Speaking about his son’s Chinese teacher, he said: “Emilio has a person who twice a week talks to him, sings to him and plays for him in Chinese.
“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.”
