My Mother Never *Star Applied

My mother never asks for anything in return.  She's the most selfless person I know and is always striving to make my family and I happy.  But she never asks for anything in return.  She is the glue that holds our family together and without her I dont know where I would be right now.  Sometimes I dont give her the credit she deserves but, at the end of the day she really is my best friend.  I didn't go away to school because I knew I wouldnt be able to last that long without her.  Some of my friends dont understand the bond my mom and I share but i could never explain it.  Shes been there through everyting with me, and yet still, never asks for anything in return.
