She thought about it   41  moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work,   42  I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I   43  that, she, too, seemed to be   44  about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to   45  her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that,   46  not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there   47  at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was   48  her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an)   49  conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days   50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do   51  for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note   52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the   53  dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your   54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be   55  till“some other time”.

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman 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 Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother 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.

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.

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.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance 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.
