After 21 years of marriage，my wife wanted me to take another woman，my widowed mother, out to dinner and a movie．Due to the 31 of my work and my three children，I visited her only 32 ．That night I called inviting her to go out．Though a bit 33 ，she accepted it happily．
That Friday after work，I drove over to 34 her up．On reaching her house，I noticed that she seemed to be nervous about our 35 ．Wearing the dress she had worn to 36 her last wedding anniversary，she smiled like an angel．
We went to a 37 that，although not elegant，was very fortable．After we sat down，I 38 my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me．A smile was on her lips．“I used to have to 39 the menu when you were smal1，”she said．“Then it’s time you relaxed and let me return the 40 ，”I responded．During the dinner，we had such a 41 conversation-all about each other’s life—that we 42 the movie．When back home, she said, “Pity we didn’t see the film．Yet I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me 43 you．” I agreed．
A few days later，Mother died of a massive heart attack．It 44 so suddenly that I had no 45 to do anything for her．some time later，I 46 an envelope of a copy of a restaurant receipt from where mother and I had 47 ．An attached note said，“I paid this 48 in advance．I wasn‘t sure whether I could be there；but nevertheless，I paid for two—one for you and the other for your wife．You’ll never know 49 that night meant for me．I love you, son．”
At that moment．I understood the importance of giving our loved ones the time they 50 because these things can never be put off till “some other time”．
