Declare Your Love for Your Dundalk Mom

Send an electronic Mother's Day card by submitting an essay to Dundalk Patch.

 

Whether you're 8 or 68 (or younger or older), Dundalk Patch would like to help you sing the praises of your mother this Mother's Day.

Maybe you best remember your mom for putting bandages on your cuts and scrapes when you were small, or for holding your hand and letting you cry the first time your heart was broken.

Maybe she encouraged you to take chances or pursue a special interest, and she was probably there to console you when things didn't go quite as you had planned.

Whatever the reason for you thinking your mother is the best mom ever, here's your chance to tell the world what she means to you.

All you have to do is write a short (200 words or less) essay about what makes your mom so special and send it to us, along with a photograph of that wonderful woman.

The only requirement is that either you or your mother must have a Dundalk connection (born and raised here, grew up here, live here now, work here—you get the picture).

Be sure to include your name, your mother's name and where you and/or your mom live.

Depending on the response, we'll publish all of the essays received or as many as possible as Mother's Day approaches.

Since this is not a contest, the essays will be published as they are received, so get yours in now.

Submit your essays and photographs no later than Friday, May 11, to marge.neal@patch.com.
