"If you have a loving mother*, treat her with loving care for you will only know her value when you see her empty chair."

It is obvious in this busy world, that people don't have time to say, "I love you" to the people whom they really love. Perhaps a person's ego gets in the way, which stops them from saying it, thinking, "Let him / her say it first & only then I will say it". Secondly, when a dear one is with you, see to it that you really care for them. What is the sense in just remembering the person after his / her death? Let the person be happy when he / she is living; let the person enjoy life. He / she is not going to enjoy life after death so care for the person while they are alive. Love that person and show them affection because after their death it will be too late when you realize how much you loved that person.
