Mary was chosen by God for her faith and devotion to God, and also she was most undoubtedly a good mother. She was not sinless nor was she a deity of any kind. She was blessed.

And Mary said:

“My soul magnifies the Lord,

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant"

For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed."

Mary had other children afterwards.

Praying to Mary does nothing. She is NOT the Mother of God and nowhere in the bible does it state she was resurrected.Although Mary should not be worshiped, it is right and proper to acknowledge her example of humility and obedience as the caring mother of Jesus, the Son of God. As her relative Elizabeth said, she was “blessed among women”

Mary was greatly blessed by being chosen to give birth to Jesus.
Mary didn’t remain a perpetual virgin. Jesus had four brothers and at least two sisters.
Mary did not ascend into heaven.
Mary is not called “the Queen of Heaven” or “the Mother of God” in the Bible.
Praying to Mary for intercession is not biblical and has no value.
Mary was blessed, but so are all those who obey God’s Word.

Then you are a Nestorian, who denies that Jesus was in fact the God-man, born of the Virgin, body and soul and divinity, inseparable.
