Happy Mother's Day To Heidi Duarte

BALDWIN PARK, CA — Whether it's through their personalities, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the woman who raised them.

With Mother's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across the state to share their mother-daughter and mother-son photos. Happy Mother's Day!

Angela Jamela Duarte submitted the following for mom Heidi Duarte:

Why she is special: She works so hard for her 5 kids, she’s caring, when she gets paid she wastes her money on her kids instead of herself, she feeds us, she clothes us, she gives us shelter, and she is such a huge inspiration to me and I love how strong my mom is.

Message: Mom, if you’re reading this, just know that me and your kids love you so much. I know I don’t show it much but I do love you so much, and you are my everything and I’m glad you accept me and your kids the way they are. I love you forever and always momma <3

At Patch, we want to celebrate that special bond by inviting our readers to share their favorite mother-daughter or mother-son photos and sentiments. Submit your special message here.
