Happy Mother's Day To Patricia Kowarik

SHELTON-DERBY, CT — Whether it's through their personalities, 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!

Helen Kowarik submitted the following for mom Patricia Kowarik:

Why she is special: She’s been my rock through everything…her mother’s intuition has never been wrong and she always makes me laugh even when I’m upset about something…she’s always my shoulder to cry on and the first person I go to when something’s wrong and she gives great advice

Message: I never show much appreciation for you, and I should, but you’ve taught me a lot and I’ve learned from you how to be kind to everyone, how to treat those around me, and how to always get a laugh out of someone, and so thank you for everything and I love you.
