'I Want To Be Like Her': Mother's Day Photos

DANVILLE, CA — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, daughters become a reflection of the woman who raised them. With Mother's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across California to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

Danville resident Jesica McGuire sent us this lovely photo of her with her mom, Kelyn.

“My mother: She is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.”

Happy Mother's Day, Kelyn!
