THE DINNER

>

>

>After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping alive the spark of love. A little while ago I had started to go out with another woman.

>

>It was really my wife's idea. "I know that you love her," she said one day, taking me by surprise. "But I love YOU," I protested.

>

>"I know, but you also love her," she said.

>

>The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

>

>That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

>

>"What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

>

>"I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you," I responded. " Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment then said "I would like that very much."

>

>That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on.

>

>She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.

>

>"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got

>into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting".

>

>We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. my mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.

>

>After we sat down, I had to read the menu to her. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entree, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.

>

>A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she

>said. "Then it's time for you to relax and let me return the favor," I responded.

>

>During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation, nothing extraordinary - but catching up on recent events of each others lives. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

>

>As we arrived at her house later, she said "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you". I agreed.

>

>"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

>

>A few days later my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have

>a chance to do anything for her.

>

>Some time later I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.

>

>An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I was almost sure that I couldn't be there but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant to me. I love you."

>

>At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time, "I LOVE YOU" and giving our loved ones the time that they deserve.

>

>Nothing in life is more important than God and your family and friends. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time".

>

>Someone once said "I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them

>when they're gone from your life.

>

>I think this is true with your in-laws, grandchildren, sisters, brothers and your friends. Anyone that means something to you - you should spend time with them and let them know how much they mean to you as often as you can.

>

>Please pass this along to your friends and family. Touch their hearts. It has touched mine.

[size=18][A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on
it,
> > God had put all the human "qualities" in a separate room. Since all
the

> > "Madness" was one of the qualities and he shouted: "I want to
count, I
> > want to count!" And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek
> > "Madness", all the other qualities agreed. So "Madness" leaned
against a

counted, the
> > qualities went hiding.
> >
> > "Treason" hid in a pile of garbage..
> >
> > " Lie " said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the
bottom of

> >
> > And Madness continued to count "... seventy nine, eighty, eighty
>one...">
>
> > By this time, all the qualities were already hidden-except "Love ".
For

should

"Love".

> > "Madness": "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when

> > And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

> > As Madness turned around, "Laziness" was the first to be found,
because

> > "Madness " searched madly and found "Lie" at the bottom of the
lake. One

Love,

Love

> > "Madness" Jumped on the rose bush and he heard loud cry . The
thorns in

> > Hearing the commotion God came into the room and saw what had
happened.
> > He got very angry and cursed "Madness" and said since "Love" has
become

> > And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is
always
