Happy Mother's Day To Joyce Oudheusden

ESCONDIDO, CA — 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!

Wendy Johnston submitted the following for mom Joyce Oudheusden:

Why she is special: My mom is one of a kind. She's beautiful, thoughtful, caring, resourceful, and and witty.

Message: Mom, wishing I could be there to celebrate you on Mother's Day. You! Since I'm on the West Coast and you're on the East Coast I thought that this tribute to you would be as special as you are. Thanks for always being there for me no matter the situation. I am a believer, warrior, overcomer and achiever because of the example you have set. I love you, and Wendy
