AFTER 17  YEARS OF MARRIAGE, I ASK MY HUSBAND TO TAKE ANOTHER WOMAN OUT TO DINNER AND A MOVIE. I TOLD HIM" I LOVE YOU" BUT I KNOW THIS OTHER WOMAN LOVES HIM ALSO AND WOULD LOVE TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM. THE OTHER WOMAN I WANTED HIM TO VISIT WAS HIS MOTHER.WHO HAS BEEN ALONE FOR 20 YEARS,BUT THE DEMANDS OF HIS WORK AND THE TWO KIDS HAD MADE IT POSSIBLE TO VISIT HER ONLY OCCASIONALLY.THAT NIGHT HE CALLED TO INVITE HER TO GO OUT FOR DINNER AND A MOVIE.'WHATS WRONG AREN'T YOU WELL; SHE ASK MY HUSBAND?HIS MOTHER IS THE TYPE OF WOMAN WHO SUSPECTS THAT A LATE NIGHT CALL OR SURPRISE INVITATION IS A SIGN OF BAD NEWS.'I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PLEASANT TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU,'HE 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 HE DROVE OVER TO PICK HER UP HE WAS A BIT NERVOUS.WHEN HE ARRIVED AT HER HOUSE.HE NOTICED THAT SHE,TOO,SEEMED TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT THERE DATE ALSO.SHE WAITED IN THE DOOR..SHE HAD CURLED HER HAIR AND WAS WEARING THE DRESS THAT SHE HAD WORN TO CELEBRATE HER LAST BIRTHDAY ON NOVEMBER 19TH.SHE SMILED FROM A FACE THAT WAS AS RADIANT AS AN ANGEL'S.''SHE TOLD HER FRIENDS THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GO OUT WITH HER SON,AND THEY WERE IMPRESSED,''SHE SAID,AS SHE GOT INTO THE NEW WHITE VAN.''THEY CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT OUR DATE SON'...WE WENT TO A RESTAURANT THAT,ALTHOUGH NOT ELEGANT,WAS VERY NICE AND COZY.HIS MOTHER TOOK HIS ARM AS IF SHE WERE THE FIRST LADY.AFTER THEY SAT DOWN,HE HAD TO READ THE MENU.HER EYES COULD ONLY READ LARGE PRINT.HALF WAY THROUGH THE ENTRIES,HE LIFTED HIS EYES AND SAW HIS MOM SITTING THERE STARING AT HIM.A NOSTALGIC SMILE WAS ON HER LIPS.SHE SAID,''IT WAS I WHO USED TO HAVE TO READ THE MENU WHEN YOU WERE SMALL,''THEN IT IS TIME YOU RELAX AND LET ME RETURN THE FAVOR HE SAID TO HER.DURING THE DINNER,THEY HAD AN AGREEABLE CONVERSATION- -NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY BUT CATCHING UP ON RECENT EVENTS OF EACH OTHER'S LIFE.THEY TALKED SO MUCH THAT THEY MISSED THE MOVIE.AS THEY ARRIVED AT HER HOUSE LATER,SHE SAID,''I'LL GO OUT AGAIN BUT ONLY IF YOU LET ME INVITE YOU.''HE AGREED.''WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME I ASK HIM,''HOW WAS YOUR DINNER DATE?''''VERY NICE.MUCH MORE SO THAT I COULD HAVE IMAGINED.''A FEW DAYS LATER,HIS MOTHER DIED OF A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK.IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING FOR HER...SOME TIME LATER,HE RECEIVED AN ENVELOPE WITH A COPE OF A RESTAURANT RECEIPT FROM THE SAME PLACE HIS MOTHER AND HE HAD DINED.AN ATTACHED NOTE SAID:''I PAID THIS BILL IN ADVANCE.I WASN'T SURE THAT I COULD BE THERE;   NEVERTHELESS,I PAID FOR TWO PLATES-ONE FOR YOU AND ONE FOR YOUR WIFE.YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THAT NIGHT MEANT TO ME.''I LOVE YOU SON.''AT THAT MOMENT,HE UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF SAYING,'' I LOVE YOU.''AND TO GIVE OUR LOVED ONES THE TIME THAT THEY DESERVE,BECAUSE THESE THINGS CANNOT BE PUT OFF TILL 'SOME OTHER TIME.'SOMEONE SAID IT TAKES ABOUT SIX WEEKS TO GET BACK TO NORMAL AFTER HAVING A BABY......

SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW THAT ONCE YOUR A MOTHER ''NORMAL'' IS HISTORY.SOMEONE SAID YOU LEARN TO BE A MOTHER BY INSTINCT....

SOMEBODY NEVER TOOK A THREE-YEAR-OLD SHOPPING.....

SOMEBODY SAID BEING A MOTHER IS BORING.......SOMEBODY NEVER RODE IN A CAR DRIVEN BY A TEENAGER WITH A DRIVER'S PERMIT.

SOMEONE SAID IF YOUR A ''GOOD'' MOTHER YOUR CHILD WILL ''TURN OUT GOOD''....SOMEBODY THINKS A CHILD COMES WITH DIRECTIONS AND A GUARANTEE.

SOMEBODY SAID YOU DON'T NEED AN EDUCATION TO BE A MOTHER.....SOMEBODY NEVER HELPED A FOURTH GRADER WITH HIS/HER MATH...

SOMEBODY SAID YOU CAN'T LOVE THE SECOND CHILD AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE THE FIRST...SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE TWO CHLDREN.

SOMEBODY SAID THE HARDEST PART OF BEING A MOTHER IS LABOR AND DELIVERY....SOMEBODY NEVER WATCHED HER ''BABY'' GET ON THE BUS FOR THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN.....OR ON A PLANE HEADED FOR MILITARY''BOOT CAMP.''

SOMEBODY SAID MOTHER CAN STOP WORRYING AFTER HER CHILD GETS MARRIED.....SOMEBODY DOES'T KNOW THAT MARRIAGE ADDS A NEW SON OR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW TO A MOTHER'S HEARTSTRINGS.

SOMEBODY SAID A MOTHER'S JOB IS DONE WHEN HER LAST CHILD LEAVES HOME......SOMEBODY NEVER HAD GRANDCHILDREN.

SOMEBODY SAID YOUR MOTHER KNOWS YOU LOVE HER,SO YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL HER......SOMEBODY ISN'T A MOTHER.
