****************************

When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you.
You thanked her by crying all the night.

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 throwing your plate on the floor.

When you were 4 years old, she gave you some crayons.
You thanked her by coloring the Walls.

When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for the holidays.
You thanked her by looping into the nearest pile of mud.

When you were 6 years old, she walked you into 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 at the neighbor’s window.

When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream.
You thanked her by dripping it all over you lap.

When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano lessons.
You thanked her by never even bothering to practice it.

When you were 10 years old, she drove you to all your practices.
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 school graduation.
You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn.

When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition and drove you to campus.
You thanked her by waving from a distance, so you wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of you friends.

When you were 20, she asked about your well being.
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 your graduation present trip.

When you were 23, she bought you a brand new car of her choice.
You thanked her by telling your friend it was ugly.

When you were 24, she met your fiancé and asked about your plans for the future,
You thanked her by glaring and growling, ‘Mohh-ther, please!’

When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told 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 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 are ‘really busy right now.’

When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her.
You thanked her by telling her about how parents became burden to their children.

And then, one day, she quietly died, And everything you never did, came crashing down like thunder on your Heart.

IF SHE’ S STILL AROUND, NEVER FORGET TO LOVE HER MORE THAN EVER.
AND IF SHE ISN’T, REMEMBER HER UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Mother is God’s greatest gift on earth and people who do not respect this beautiful and irreplacable person then not only they are making a big mistake but also they are wasting life in meaningless things...

Thanks for sharing Mona....
I often wonder if I am giving her back enough? Nothing is gonna be enough for the patience and love she give for her children.
I realized it when I became a mother!
