I wanted to join these two sentances together.
She was so much more than that.
She was like a mother.
Could I write it like this:
She was so much more than that; she was like a mother.
Does that make sense?

yes it makes sense, but i would join the sentences together with a comma, not a semi-colon. :)
would it kind of be a run on sentance?
Lena -- it's a good sentence! You are right; a semi-colon belongs after "that."
no, a run on sentence would go on longer than that, and include multiple (more than one) subject. in which case, this sentence remains on topic and is not a run-on. :)
A run on sentence doesn't have to be long.
This sentence has two subjects and verbs.
SHE WAS -- are the subject and verb in both clauses.

Thanks Nicole and Ms. Sue :)
