Peabody Firefighter And His Mini-Me: Father's Day Photos

PEABODY, MA—Whether it's through his or her personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, a son or daughter often takes on the qualities of the dad who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Massachusetts to share their "father-son" or "father-daughter" lookalike photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are; they'll always be a chip off the old block.

This photo, submitted by Lori Coleman, showcases Michael Coleman and daughter McKenna Coleman, 6, from Peabody.

Not only is McKenna his mini-me in looks but she loves doing anything he does. Whether it is working in the yard, working out, playing board games...she spends every minute she can with him. Mike is a Peabody Firefighter so she has learned to enjoy every minute she can with him since his schedule keeps him away for special days...like this Sunday (Father's Day) he will be on shift so we will visit the station and find a way to make is special! - Lori Coleman
