What does the speaker think of her mother? Her mother is the ______ person to her.

Of all the people around me, my mother is the dearest. I love her, and I enjoy spending time with her. In the future when she grows old, I will still stay with her. In my country, the sons and the daughters usually live with their parents so when the parents are old, they won’t feel lonely. But in some other countries, young people don’ t like to live with their parents. Some of them even think their parents are burdens to them. In my opinion, old people know a lot of things that can help us and teach us; therefore, I enjoy living near my mother especially when she is old and needs more of my love and care.
