In reality, the Marian devotion that we see would make the real Mary very sad. Hopefully, God has her shielded from seeing any of this.

Who are you to presume what she thinks/feels??

I am a Christian. I read of Mary in Scripture where she is shown as a very humble and devout woman. She, like the Holy Spirit, does not draw attention to herself, and based on her presence in the upper room following Jesus' resurrection, she would be faithful in pointing people towards devotion to her Son, not setting up statues to herself.
