Poets write about them. Strong men cry in their presence. We honor them each year with a special day punctuated by hearts and flowers, and perhaps even breakfast in bed.
Don't just settle for all the customary ways to celebrate how awesome your mom is. Instead, upload a photograph of her to this article and write a caption telling us what's so great about the moms of Baltimore County.
Next Friday, May 11 at noon, we'll randomly pick a winner and call her the "Best Mom of Baltimore County."
Now that's a gift. But if that's not enough, we'll also award you a $50 gift certificate to spend any way you want on mom. (C'mon, dads, if your kids can't upload a photo of your wife, do it with them!)
The contest rules are attached.
Patch will also compile photos of moms from across the state for a "Moms of Maryland" photo gallery. We hope your Mom will be included.
(To submit your photo, click the Upload Photos and Video button above.)
Tell us why your mom is the best in Baltimore County.
Over the past year, my mom has shown that she will do anything for anyone and nothing will stop her, and she has. Last year, I was diagnosed with an advanced staged breast cancer. My mother has been by my side every step of the way, while working full-time and taking care of my sister who has been in and out of the hospital for diabetes related illnesses for the past 6 months.She has assisted me financially, while paying her own expenses.
