Have you ever asked her why she did so even when you made things hard for her?

I haven't. I know why. We bonded while I was still cute and adorable, and coupled with her kind heart she never pushed me away. She has spent her life devoted to helping others. The charity work I mentioned she did that won her woman of the year was all activity she did after putting in her full shift on a manufacturing line. Even now, in her 70's she spends much of her time devoted to charity. She is unlike anyone else I have ever known.
