[00:00.64]Date With Mamma 我与妈妈有个约会


[00:05.89]After 21 years of marriage, 


[00:08.30]I discovered a new way of keeping alive the spark of love.


[00:12.13]I started to go out with another woman. It was really my wife’s idea.


[00:18.04]“I know that you love her,”she said one day, taking me by surprise.


[00:23.83]“But I love YOU,” I protested.“I know, but you also love her,”she said.


[00:29.85] The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother,


[00:34.23]but the demands of my work and my three children 


[00:37.48]had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.


[00:40.90]That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.


[00:45.61]“I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you,”I said.


[00:49.87]“Just the two of us,”he thought about it for a moment,


[00:53.50]then said,“I would like that very much.”


[00:56.55]That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.


[01:02.67]When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, 


[01:06.57]seemed to be nervous about our date.


[01:08.59]She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress 


[01:12.26]that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.


[01:15.25]She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s.


[01:19.85]We went to a very nice and cozy 1 restaurant. 


[01:23.76]After we sat down, I had to read the menu.


[01:26.85]A nostalgic smile was on her lips.


[01:30.38]“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,”she said.


[01:35.60]“Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded.


[01:40.42]During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation—nothing extraordinary—


[01:46.33]but catching 2 up on recent events of each other’s life.


[01:50.05]We talked so much that we missed the movie.


[01:52.89]As we arrived at her house later, she said,


[01:56.49]“I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.”I agreed.


[02:01.86]A few days later my mother died of a massive heart attack.


[02:06.46]It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.


[02:10.84]At that moment I understood the importance of saying in time “I LOVE YOU”


[02:16.52]and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.


[02:19.70]Nothing in life is more important than your family.


[02:22.98]Give them the time they deserve, 


[02:25.24]because these things cannot be put off till “some other time”.
