She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:For the nine months I nurtured you herewhile you were growing inside me there:No Charge.For all the nights that I've sat up with you,doctored and nursed and prayed for you:No Charge.For all the trying times, and all the tearsthat 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 runny nose:No Charge.When you add it up, the cost of my love is:No Charge, Son.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".
