Do You Still Have Heart?

'At age 8, your mom buys you an ice cream. You thanked her by dripping
it all over his 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
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,s he warned you not to watch
certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until he left the house.

When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was in fashion.
You thanked her by telling 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 his 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 told you
how deeply he 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.

Repost this if it touches you in the soul.
