BEING A MOTHER..

After 17 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 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 alone for 20 years,

But the demands of my work and my two boys 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, aren't 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 it would be pleasant to spend some

Time 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. She had curled her hair and was wearing the Dress that she had worn to celebrate her last Birthday on November 19th.

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 that new white van. 'They can't wait to hear about our date'.

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. Her eyes could only

Read 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 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.'

MUM

MY DARLING MUM
You can only have one mother
patient kind and true,
no other friend in all the world
will be the same to you.
when other friends forsake you
to mother you will return,
for all her loving kindness
she asks nothing in return.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
to my dear mum up above
tell her how I miss her,
and give her all my love.
remembering her is easy,
I do it every day
but there is an ache within my heart
that will never go away

The act of creating a memorial for one who has passed away is an act of spirituality. A memorial tells the world, this person may be gone but his or her spirit lives on.
