What makes your Mom extra special?

My mom has always been the world's best mother. Since I was a baby, she has always been my best friend and she always has been the best mother any child can ever ask for. My mom has always told me that I am the brightest girl in her life. She also has been through a lot of tough times. She almost lost her life to Covid a few years ago, but she was strong enough to push through. Whenever I feel down, she will just come to me and sit and chat, or just give me the worlds warmest hug.
