I want my manager to love me like her own daughter?

Okay,

I just started working in an office last August, after I had an amazing interview with the manager. She is one of the prettiest most smartest individuals I've ever met in my life. Fingers crossed, I got the job.

When she was training me, she was so patient and so kind about everything. That made me SUPER comfortable.

Once I was getting the hang of things, we got to talking a lot when she worked with me on Saturdays. She talked about wanting a daughter (but she's a little over fifty and she already has two sons in their late twenties/thirties), and she told me a lot of her personal life to the point where she even teared up a bit. And I had done the same. She is someone I can truly confide in no matter what. She's such a bright and caring person!

Eventually, I started calling here Momma Lo. And to me it seems as if she doesn't mind one bit. From my other coworkers, they say she says a lot of positive things about me!

Sometimes I'm told that I don't know or see the real side of this person, but I mean I don't know her entire life story (even though she's talked to me about plenty times in her life). But I do know that she has been nothing but so motherly to me.

It kills me that I feel this way, because I love my own mum. We're not close, really. And it seems almost too late for that since we have different views on life and things like that. I'll forever love my mum. She gave me life, but we don't have the relationship I've always wanted to have.

Even my dad (my parents divorced when I was six), we have an on and off-going relationship. It's ridiculous at this point because I know that I'm old enough to mantain these relationships. My dad and I are doing better now, but I'm getting off topic.

I see my manager as a beautiful person. Every time I see her I just feel happy. She acknowledges me and she talks to me. She's interested in the things I have to say.

I feel like I'm crazy for feeling this way, but I know for fact that I'm not the only one that has a mother figure in his/her life.

I want to be able to express this to her without making it weird. I wrote her something on her Christmas card last year, thanking her for being so helpful and patient. And the fact that I look up to her. It's hard to not want to tell someone you really care about straight up how you really feel about them, without worrying how THEY might feel about it.

It's even more crappier since my manager does work for the company my mum works for, and they talk on the phone (business stuff).

I don't know what to do, I don't know how to feel about all of this. I feel bad, but I feel so happy in knowing I can trust someone who fills the empty spaces in me.

Please help. I'd love some feedback. :)
