'Proud Of The Man He Has Grown To Be': Mother's Day Photos

SANTA CRUZ, 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 2019 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across California to share their "mother-daughter" and "mother-son" lookalike photos. It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies!

Patch reader and Santa Cruz resident Cathi Burnham shared this adorable photo taken with her youngest son Ian.

"I am so proud of the man Ian has grown to be. He is smart, loyal, funny, a great dad and husband and son. Did I mention he is funny?"

Happy Mother's Day, Cathi!
