The most valuable events in life are usually not seen or touched, but felt in the heart. Please pay attention to this story:
He said that after many years of living together, my wife asked me to go out with another woman for dinner and a movie. My wife said that she loves me, but she is sure that this woman also loves me and will enjoy going out with me.
_The other woman that my wife asked me to go out with was my mother, who was widowed 19 years ago, but busy life and having 3 children made me visit her only on random and irregular occasions.
That night, I called him to go out for a movie and dinner. My mother asked worriedly what happened? He was one of those people who saw a late night phone call or an unexpected invitation as a sign of bad news. I said to him: I thought it would be very pleasant if we were together tonight. After some thought, he said that he too would enjoy the idea.
That Friday after work when I went to pick him up, I was a little nervous. When I arrived, I saw that she was also a bit nervous, she was wearing her coat and standing in front of the door, her hair was tied up and she was wearing the dress she wore on her last wedding anniversary. He smiled at me with a bright face like an angel. When he was getting into the car, he said that he told his friends that he was going out with my son tonight and they were very impressed.
We went to a restaurant that was not luxurious but very comfortable and cozy. She held my hand as if she was the president's wife. After we sat down, I read the restaurant menu. While reading from above, I looked at my mother's face and saw that she was looking at me with a smile indicating the recollection of past memories, she told me that she remembers that when I was little and we used to go to a restaurant together, she was the one who chose the restaurant menu. reads
_I also said in response, now it's time for you to rest and let me do this favor for you. While having dinner, we had a sincere conversation, nothing unusual was exchanged between us, but the conversations were about current events and we talked so much that we missed the cinema…
_When I brought him home, he said that he will go out with me again on the condition that he invites me, and I accepted. When I got home, my wife asked me if I had a good dinner with my mother. In response, I said much more than I could imagine.
A few days later my mother died of a massive heart attack and everything happened so much faster than I could do anything about.
A little later, I received an envelope containing a copy of a receipt from the restaurant where we ate with my mother that night. A note was also attached to it: I don't know if I will be there or not, but I have paid for 2 people, one for you and one for your wife. And you will never know what that night meant to me, I love you my son.
And it was then that I realized how important it is to tell our loved ones that we love them and give them the time they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than family.
:) Give your loved ones the time they deserve because these matters can never be left to another time.
