After 20 years of marriage, my wife said, “I love you, John, but I know another woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.” The other woman she was referring to was my mother, who had lived alone for 19 years. However, the pressure of my _________and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.
That night I _________ to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked. My mother usually thought that a late night call or a surprise invitation might be a sign of _________ news. “I thought that it would be _________to spend some time with you,” I replied. “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, I drove over to _________ her up. She waited in the door with her coat on. “I told my friends that I was going out with my son,” she said, as she got into the _________,“and they can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”
After we sat down in a nice restaurant, I had to read the _________ . Her eyes could only read large print. I _________my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. “It was I who used to have to order dishes when you were _________ ,” she said. “Then it’s time that you _________ and let me return the favor,” I said. We talked so happily over the dinner that we _________ the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me _________you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack so _________ that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received a letter from the restaurant with a receipt inside and a note saying: “I paid this _________ in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there. I ordered two plates for you and your wife. You will never know what that night _________ for me. I love you, son.” With tears in my eyes, only then did I realize the importance of saying in time to our loved ones: “I LOVE YOU”.
