  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 3 across the country.

  When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby. You thanked her by telling her, “Things are different now.”

  When you were 40, she called to remind you of an relative’s birthday. You thanked her by saying you were “really busy right now”.
