The empathetic mom
This mom is never too tired to listen to your sad stories. She shows you that she is listening. She understands what you are going through, she finds solutions, sends you useful links and tries to see how you could make tomorrow a brand new day. She has a perfect shoulder to cry on and she intends to use it.
Why do we love her so much? Because she never tires of listening to you and never expects anything in return. You don’t feel like you are annoying her and that’s because she thinks of something else as soon as you are done talking, not because she doesn’t care but because that’s the only way she will keep listening to everyone’s troubles without feeling depressed.
