The sentence above is from the article on the website above and is the last sentence of the article. I don’t quite understand “everything that you are” in it. I wonder if that means “every role you play” because a mother can be a teacher, a friend, a helper, an adviser etc. to her children.
 
It's not just talking about roles; it's about the entire person that she is/represents to him. In other words, it includes human qualities (kindness, empathy, support, etc).
