After 21 years of marriage， my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and see a movie. She said，“I love you， but I know this other woman loves you too， and she would love to spend some time with you.” The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother， who has been a widow （寡婦） for 19 years， but my busy work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner. She thought about it for a moment， and 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 also seemed to be nervous about our date. We went to a nice restaurant. After we sat down， I had to read the menu. Her eyes couldnt see clearly.

“ Now， you can relax，” I smiled.

During the dinner， we had an agreeable conversation about each others life. As we arrived at her house later， she said， “ Ill go out with you again， but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

A few days later， my mother died of a heart attack. I didnt have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later， I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt（收據(jù)） from the same place where my mother and I had dined. There were some words on the receipt saying， “ I paid this bill in advance. I wasnt sure if I could be there. I paid for two plates ---one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you， my son.”

At that moment I understood the importance of saying， in time， “ I love you .” I know I must give our loved ones the time they deserve， because it shouldnt be put off until “ some other time”.

When I looked at the grade on my math paper， my jaw （下巴） almost dropped to the ground： a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.

I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldnt come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade， so he didnt doubt the unusual delay （延遲） of my report.

A month later， Dad casually asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice， I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math test. I had lied because I didnt want to let him down.

For a moment， he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally， Dad said in a hurt voice， “You have already let me down， with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you cant be honest with your dad， who can you be honest with？ Its much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone elses trust in you.”

Dads words touched my heart. I couldnt forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks， handed to him and apologized， sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally， but to those around me that truly care about my well-being.
