like a second mother
infectious laugh
lighten the mood
to draw people to
On a personal level
In terms of her personality
life lessons
Have a knack for something
hold in high regard
altruistic
philanthropic
the apples of my eye
a pillar of strength
wearing many hats
unwavering work ethic
tireless dedication
deeply valued
support network
it takes a village to raise a child
we’re all in this together
a sense of security
shared responsibility
largely depends
a bit of mixed bag
