When you were 1 year old, she fed you and
bathed you. You thanked her by crying all night
long.
When you were 2 years old, she taught you to
walk. You thanked her by running away when
she called.
When you were 3 years old, she made all your
meals with love. You thanked her by tossing your
plate on the floor.
When you were 4 years old, she gave you some
crayons. You thanked her by coloring the dining
room table.
When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for
the holidays. You thanked her by plopping into the
nearest pile of mud.
When you were 6 years old, she walked you to
school. You thanked her by screaming, "I'M NOT
GOING!"
When you were 7 years old, she bought you a
baseball. You thanked her by throwing it through
the next-door-neighbor's window.
When you were 8 years old, she handed you an
ice cream. You thanked her by dripping it all over
your lap.
When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano
lessons. You thanked her by never even bothering
to practice.
When you were 10 years old she drove you all
day, from soccer to gymnastic to one birthday
party after another. You thanked her by jumping
out of the car and never looking back.
When you were 11 years old, she took you and
your friends to the movies. You thanked her by
asking to sit in a different row.
When you were 12 years old, she warned you not
to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by
waiting until she left the house.
When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that
was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she
had no taste.
When you were 14, she paid for a month away at
summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to
write a single letter.
When you were 15, she came home from work,
looking for a hug. You thanked her by having your
bedroom door locked.
When you were 16, she taught you how to drive
her car. You thanked her by taking it every chance
you could.
When you were 17, she was expecting an
important call. You thanked her by being on the
phone all night.
When you were 18, she cried at your high school
graduation. You thanked her by staying out
partying until dawn.
When you were 19, she paid for your college
tuition, drove you to campus carried your bags.
You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the
dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of
your friends.
When you were 20, she asked whether you were
seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, "It's
none of your business."
When you were 21, she suggested certain
careers for your future. You thanked her by
saying, "I don't want to be like you."
When you were 22, she hugged you at your
college graduation. You thanked her by asking
whether she could pay for a trip to Europe.
When you were 23, she gave you furniture for
your first apartment. You thanked her by telling
your friends it was ugly.
When you were 24, she met your fiance and
asked about your plans for the future. You
thanked her by glaring and growling, "Muuhh-ther,
please!"
When you were 25, she helped to pay for your
wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply
she loved you. You thanked her by moving
halfway across the country.
When you were 30, she called with some advice
on the baby. You thanked her by telling
her, "Things are different now."
When you were 40, she called to remind you of a
relative's birthday. You thanked her by saying you
were "really busy right now."
When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to
take care of her. You thanked her by reading
about the burden parents become to their children.
And then one day, she quietly died. And
everything you never did came crashing down like
thunder on YOUR HEART.
