My date with another Women- After getting Married
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 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 f! or 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 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. 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 -
not! hing 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 did to not get 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 God and your family. Give them the
time they deserve, because these things cannot be put
off till "some othe! r time."
Pass this along to everyone with an aging parent, to a
child, to an adult, to anyone with a parent.
"Please do not take people you LOVE for Granted" .. it is said that people we love the most .. we hurt the most. Lets change this. NOW.
Here's wishing your today is better than yesterday and tomorrow.
Wish you all the Love.

Dear people,
Good to know that, in this busy world, still we have so much affection and respect to our mom. She is God's gift from above.
Indian culture is good and we live with our parents and take care of them, but this is not the case in western countries...Hats off to our culture....

Very very beautiful and very touching indeed. I lost my mother some years back, without doing much for her, I did not have an opportunity to do any thing good for her except to give her my obedience and my respect to her, that was in abundance, but to give her such a feeling as explained in this story, I hope it is true, due to marital constraints. With us in India, this is what I believe is the truth, many of us men feel stiffled because of the the tiff between the two women in their life. A man becomes a pawn in such situations. I feel it is the duty of all sons to give their best to their mother, her sacrifices all her life can never be repaid or made up. And it is for each women who is a daughter-in-law must support her husband in this endeavor, she must know she would be a mother-in-law herself in the not too distant a future, to regret at that time would be too late. This is my message to all men and women in equal measure.

Hello Axsion,
You've posted such a nice story which is absolutely an inspiring one. Actually, it'll be foolish to ignore the contribution of a mother in a disciplined family. She's undoubtedly a torchlight for everyone. She serves selflessly towards her children to bring them up in a society.We can say "Wives are youngmen's mistress, Companion for the middle-aged, Nurses for the oldmen".This is what signifies the role of an ideal woman. Anyway no one can take the place of a mother. Thanx once again for posting such a memorable story.
