A Mother's Love

 

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she

 

was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been

 

writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and

 

this is what it said:

 

For cutting the grass: $5.00

For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00

For going to the store for you: $.50

Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25

Taking out the garbage: $1.00

For getting a good report card: $5.00

For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00

Total owed: $14.75

 

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the

 

memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over

 

the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

 

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:

No Charge

 

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for

 

you:

No Charge

 

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through

 

the years:

No Charge

 

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I

 

knew were ahead:

No Charge

 

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:

No Charge

 

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:

No Charge.

 

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were

 

big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said,

 

"Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big

 

letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".
