It's quite possible that no person holds a place dearer in your heart than that of your mother. A mother is so many things - a teacher, a mentor, a counselor, a friend. She provides a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen. Your mother is your first love and your mother's love is unconditional. Many of the happiest days of your life have been or will be spent in the company of your mother.
