MOM, YOU’RE THE BEST!

Mom has always been the best, her painstaking world revolves around us her children.. we are who we are now because of her.. Like Dad who pass away when we were young, we love her so much. Thanks to a friend, this story which I come across during mother’s day made me cry… hope you’ll like it:

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take my MOM out to dinner. “I love you, but I know your MOM loves you & would love to spend some time with you!”

My MOTHER has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of work & three children made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night, I called to invite her to go out for dinner. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked…I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you, just the two of us,” I said. She thought about it for a moment, “I would like that very much.”

Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. She waited at the door with coat on. She had curled her hair & wearing the dress she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled as radiant as an angel. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, they can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”

My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. I had to read the menu since her eyes could only read large print. I lifted my eyes & saw Mom staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to read the menu when you were small,” she said. Now it’s time that You relax & let me return the favor, I responded.

We had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if u let me invite u!”

A few days later, my MOM died of a massive heart attack. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from where we 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 2 plates one for you & 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.
