Happy Mother's Day To Esperanza Rodas

SHELTON-DERBY, CT — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the woman who raised them.

With Mother's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across the state to share their mother-daughter and mother-son photos. Happy Mother's Day!

Michelle Robles submitted the following for mom Esperanza Rodas:

Why she is special: My mom is thoughtful, caring, sassy, pretty, hard worker, and the best chef and loves her children and grandchildren unconditionally!

Message: Mom- words alone can never express how much I love you. You are my will and my constant and my rock. You are a wonderful mother and grandmother. I would be so lost without your guidance. Thank you sincerely for always being there for me... close and far and knowing exactly what I needed. I don’t know how you always know but I’m forever grateful you do. I love you mom!
