Mother's love is unconditional. No matter what the season or the reason is, she loves you selflessly and does whatever she can for you.When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you-you thanked herby crying all through the night. When you were 2 years old, she taught you how to walk-you thanked her by running away from her when she called. At the time when you were 3 years old, she made all your meals with love-you thanked her by tossing your plate on to the floor. When you were 4 years old, she gave you some wax pencils and color pastels and you thanked her by scribbling on the walls of the house. When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for the holidays-you thanked her by returning with soiled clothes.
When you were 6 years old, she walked you into the best school. You thanked her by screaming, "I'm not going." When you were 7, she bought you a cricket set and you well thanked her by hitting the ball on to the next-door neighbor's window. When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream and you thanked her by dripping it all over your lap. When you were 9 years old, she paid a whole lot for your music classes and you thanked her by never even bothering to practice it at home. When you were 10 years old, she drove you all day, from music to aerobics to one birthday party after another. You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back to waive your hand at least. When you were 11 years old, she took you along with your friends to your favorite movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in the 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 entered the teens and were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she had poor taste. When you were 14 years of age, she paid for your month away at the summer camp-and here you thanked her by forgetting to jot down a few lines to her. When you were 15, she cried at your school graduation but you thanked her by staying out partying until dawn. When you were 16, she taught you how to drive her car. You thanked her by taking it on every chance you could.
When you were 17 years of age, she was expecting an important office call and you thanked her by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, she came home from work, looking for a solacing hug. You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus and carried your bags but you thanked her by saying a good-bye outside the dorm so you would not be embarrassed in front of your friends.
When you entered 20 years of age, she asked whether you were seeing anyone-you simply thanked her by saying "Its none of your business." When you were 21, she suggested career plans for your future but you thanked her by saying "I do not 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 trip to holiday. When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment and you thanked her by telling your friend it was gifted by a poor taste woman. When you were 24, she met your fiancé and asked about your plans for the future but you thanked her by glaring and growling, "Muhhh ther,pleezz!" When you were 25, she did all the best she could to make your wedding, and she cried and told how deeply she loved you but you thanked her by moving halfway across the country.
When you were 30, she called with some advice on your baby and you thanked by telling her, "Things are not the same anymore." When you were 40, she called to remind you of a relative's birthday but you thanked her by saying you were "really busy right now." When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her and you thanked her by reading about a news column on the amount of burden parents become to their children.
One day, she quietly died and everything you never did, came crashing down like thunder on your heart because you as mother knew by this time the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE a mother has on her child.
