Nice work with the different harmonies at the beginning; the melody stayed fluid, and the song kept sounding interesting as you kept moving it to slightly different places in pretty smooth ways, so nice work there.
I'm in two minds about the second instrument (Can't tell what it is, so I'll say it's a synth), because I think you'd not have been much worse off without it, just keeping it as a piano track on its own, because as it is it doesn't add a great deal to the piano, and in some cases is something of a distraction.
At 1:58ish when everything else comes in, the instrumentation makes a little more sense, though some of the harmonies seem off in places...I think with piano instrumentation sometimes, less is more, because you still want that to be the main focus for a lot of reasons, and it kind of feels messier when you try and add a whole lot more instruments into the mix.
In general, this is a pretty awesome tune, there's nice chord changes in it...in general, I'm in two minds about the instrumentation, but it's a good track nonetheless. And either way, I'm sure your mother was very touched that you wrote it.
