Your parents must have had a very good, loving relationship. You must have really valued your mother, also.

My parents' relationship lasted more than half a century, the usual bumps and frictions, but in general I would agree with your assessment.
My mother was an intelligent, independent, and strong woman, and the iconic ancestor was similar. Not domineering as many such women can be, but not submissive either. She knew she was equal to anybody else. Not better, but no worse. My older sisters who were important in my early life inherited these traits. One might say I had no experience with other types of women or at least didn't notice other types. My father was an equal partner in my parenting and in his marriage, but traditional gender role models were basically ignored.
