Tell Patch Why Your Mom's the Best

My mom is a pretty special lady.

For 24 years, she has been not only my biggest support and my number one fan, but also the person I most admire in this world.

I try to tell her this every day — not just one Sunday in May — but it's nice to have a holiday to recognize all the special moms out there and all the hard work they do.

In honor of Mother’s Day this Sunday,  wants to hear from you on what makes your mom the greatest. Whether you’re lucky enough to still have your mom around or whether she’s passed away, send in your tributes, fond memories and essays about your mom, and we'll post them in a roundup Sunday morning.

Photos are great, too. If you have a great photo of you and your mom (or another special lady in your life), upload it to this article or email it to amanda@patch.com.
