After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out
to dinner and a movie.
She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you more then I,
and would love to spend some time with you.
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, Who has
been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three
children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman
who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of
bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you," I responded. "Just
the two of us."
She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very
much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit
nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to
be nervous about our date.
She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was
wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding
anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
"I told all my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they
were impressed, "she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to
hear about our meeting".
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and
cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. ( I remembered
the old days when I was two-three year old how she use to catch my arm).
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Large print. Half way through
the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A
nostalgic smile was on her lips, her eyes wet.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she
said.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing
extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We
talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again,
but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.
"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice.
Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered. ( I was deeply
thankfull to her ).
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened
so suddenly that I did to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant
receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.
An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I
could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and
the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for
me. I love you, son" & I am thankful to your wife.
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE
YOU!" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the
time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some
other time."

Pass this along to everyone with an aging parent, to a child, to an
adult, to anyone with a parent. Here's hoping today is better than
yesterday and tomorrow.
Never wait for tommorrow:
Today when your child, wife, friends demands from you say clothes, toys,
books, movie, going out for restaurant, holiday, weekend though you have
it or you dont have it (time/money) but some how you fullfill their
demand.
Have you ever thought to take your parents for a ride, movie, restaurant,
holiday, weekend.
If you have ever thought about your parents then you are next to God.
Thanks
