Me and my mum are really close its just me her and my sister so we are all really close and she was also really young when she had us (15). we like the same things and she is close with my friends to shes a pretty awesome person.
She sounds very cool. Must have been hard for her but she has clearly done a great job and you appreciate her.. which shows she did a great job any mum of any age knows they did good when their kid is adult and still loves them :)
