ENFIELD, CT— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!

Here at Patch we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.

This submission comes from Amanda Dewees who nominated Valerie Wages of Enfield.

What makes your Mom extra special?

They always say when you have your own kids you truly realize how much your mom did/does, the sacrifices she made and how she was always going above and beyond. Loving your children is like a love you never felt before. Being in my thirties with my own sweet boys, I get it. I am forever grateful for my wonderful upbringing. With her daily medical struggles, she continues to always lend a helping hand, pick up the grandkids from school if needed, and be the glue that holds us together! Blessed to be her daughter 💕

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

She’s simply the best.

Happy Mother's Day to Valerie Wages, and thank you for all you do!
