Meriden Mom, Daughter Celebrate Mother's Day

MERIDEN, CT — 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 this weekend, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Connecticut to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies! And part of the fun of motherhood is watching your children grow up and enjoy the same things that you love.

In Meriden, Jennifer Gilbert shares a photo of her with daughter Katelyn Gilbert taken at the Daffodil Festival in Meriden on April 28.

We hope you all have a happy Mother's Day!

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do you and your mom share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to vincent.salzo@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. Or — post it via the bulletin board section of your local Patch site and we'll be sure to share.
