when you were 15, your mom 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 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 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.
