I have , however , had a few very zen like moments where it occurs to me that we do eventually all die , and if this is hers , then it is what it is . My dad 's wife called me last night , she had told her daughter about my mom and her response was pity ( in a kind way ) for me . And that was the first time in this that I cried .

Question: Why did the speaker cry after hearing this person express their pity ?
Answer: Because their mother had loved this person more , and it hurt them deep inside to rememberBecause they felt that the person was expressing pity in an inauthentic and condescending wayBecause they appreciated the kindness that had been expressed , and were beside themselvesNone of the above choices .
