When you were 8 years old, your mom 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 not bothering to practice
When you were 10 years old she drove you all day,
from soccer to football
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 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
guess the title of this...
perhaps many of u received it before...
or will be getting it soon...
from friends and relatives and all...
