Happy Mother's Day To Yadira Vargas

JOLIET, IL — 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!

Jose Vargas IV submitted the following for mom Yadira Vargas:

Why she is special: My mom is special because she is a breast cancer survivor. She is a fighter and has taught me to do the same. She has shown me that if you want something you go for it, the sky is the limit. We have an unbreakable bond and take advantage of the second chance I got with her. The posture was taken at Maggiano's Restaurant in Naperville, and it is a family tradition to eat there every year for my parents anniversary.

Message: Supermom and I love you forever
