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 to watch
them.
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, expecting 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.

Don't mean to scare anyone
I guess she is okay the rest of the time.
But my dad is the world to me.
