Happy Mother's Day To Mary O'Brien

WYCKOFF, NJ — 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!

Grace O'Brien submitted the following for mom Mary O'Brien:

Why she is special: My mom is special in many ways. One being and the fact that she had to raise two sets of crazy twins! She has the biggest heart out of anyone i've ever met and never fails to make you smile. She is an incredible person who can't go across the country without seeing a familiar face. I love her so much and couldn't imagine my life without her.

Message: Dear mom, Happy mothers day! I love you so much! You truly are the best mom in the world. There isn't a day that goes by that you aren't here for your 4 kids and husband. You are so hardworking and smart, and make sure to show off your skills when we watch Jeopardy! You are so funny and your smile and laugh light up the world. Thank you for continuing to be my role model, my supporter, and my friend. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish as much as I have without you by my side, cheering me on through everything. I love you so much and don't want you to ever forget it. I hope your mothers day was as incredible as you are. Love, your amazing daughter, and Grace
