Mom

She raised you

Mom as a capitalized word functions as a name when addressing or referring to one's own mother directly: I called Mom yesterday, Ask Mom if she needs help.

The capitalization signals that Mom is being used in place of a proper name rather than as a common noun. (Lowercase mom is the general term for mother.)
