> After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take

>
> The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my

> 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 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.
>
>
> 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.
>
>
> 'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you
> were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you
> relax and let me return the favor,' I responded.
>
> 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.
>
> A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack.
> It happened so suddenly that I
> didn't have time 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.'
>
> 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 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

>
> to an adult,
