Crowdsourcing this one since I haven't found the answer myself.

My mother was a tree and a needle, as well as being who she was. My father was lightning and a thread. Who am I?

I thought it was implied in "who am I?" instead of "what am I?" but you're right, I could have been clearer.

Oh, huh. Now that I think about it, I should have caught it.

If it's a proper noun with fire in it, I don't know if I can help. Maybe someone else knows, though.

It didn't hurt to ask. I'm not afraid to ask for help when I'm stumped.

Two brains are better than one.

Who gave you this riddle?

A guy named Luke, and it's not so much a riddle as a description of who or what he is.
