'I Love You': Mother's Day Photos

UPPER MARLBORO, MD — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, daughters become a reflection of the woman who raised them. With Mother's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Maryland to share their "mother-daughter lookalike" photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they'll always be your babies!

Upper Marlboro resident Deb sent us this gorgeous photo of her with her daughter, Gabbie.

"My AMAZING Gabbie....SMART, BEAUTIFUL and full of life... you remind me of my first love, your PopPop Glen!!! I KNOW God called him home to bless our lives with you (and sissy)!!! When in doubt, KNOW that mommie is confident in WHO YOU ARE!!! Saying I love you is an understatement."

Happy Mother's Day, Deb!

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do you and your mom share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to deb.belt@patch.com. Be sure to include a nice message for your loved one, as well as the city/location of the photo and the date it was taken. We'll share some of our favorites.
