'Thank You For Showing Me How To Be Loving': Mother's Day Photos

PLEASANTON, 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.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies!

Laura McLeod sent us this lovely photo of her with her mom Sandra Wendschlag.

"To my mama on Mother’s Day! I love you! Thank you for showing me what a loving mom does so that I can do the same for my little one now!"

Happy Mother's Day, Sandra!

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do you and your mom share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to autumn.johnson@patch.com. Be sure to include a nice message for your loved one, as well as the city/location of the photo and the date it was taken.
