OAK FOREST, ILβ€” 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 Peggy Earll who nominated Paula of Oak Forest.

What makes your Mom extra special?

My mom has always held our family to together while my dad worked three jobs to provide for us while I was younger. She has fought and battled cancer four times.

Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?

[My mom] was determined to provide me and my sister with a wonderful life.

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