Question

【題目】My mother 1ived alone for 19 years after my father died．My work and my three children made me difficult to visit her .One night I called her for the evening meal．“What’s wrong?"she asked．She always thinks the call in the night is bad news．“I just want to spend some time with you，”I replied．

On Friday I drove to pick her up．When I arrived，she seemed to be as nervous as me．She washed hair and wore her best dress．After we got to a near restaurant，I read the menu．She was looking at me all the time．“I used to read the menu when you were small．"

During the dinner，we had a happy conversation．We talked so much happily．When we went back home，she said，“I’ll go out with you again，but you must let me invite you．"

A few days later，my mother died of a serious heart illness．I felt very sorry not to do anything for her．After some days，I received a letter with a menu from the same restaurant．The letter said，“I paid this meal．I wasn't sure I could be there．I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife．I love you，son．”

At that time，I understood the importance of saying“I LOVE YOU”in time．Nothing in life is more important than your family．Spend more time with them．
