An Amazing San Francisco Mom

SAN FRANCISCO -- 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!

Kristen Semelius sent us this photo of her and her mother, Elaine Haun who she described as loving and amazing.

"I am so thankful for everything you do and for the loving care you give my children everyday. I love you!!" Kristen wrote to her mother.

Happy Mother's Day to you both!

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.
