Praise Your Mom, Win $500

Editor's Note: Thank you for your comments. The entry period is now closed.

Mother’s Day is days away and many of you may be wondering what you can give to your mother to thank her for all that she has given to you.

Gifts can be thoughtful, but sometimes it’s the words that mean more, that show you truly care and appreciate what she did.

We’d like to give each of you the opportunity to tell the greater Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley areas why your mother is so special and what makes her so wonderful. You may have a story you’d like to share or words of appreciation. We want to read it.

We are hoping to find some truly great Mother’s Day stories, so please be sure to include your hometown in your post.

We’re so excited about getting these great stories that we’re offering $500 to one lucky person. You may want to share it with mom, but that’s up to you. To enter, all you have to do is post your story or reflection of your mom in the comments area of this story. Please keep it to 100 words or fewer. (One entry per user.)  

If you’d like to upload a picture of your mom to this article, we’d love to see it (but you have to leave a comment to be eligible for the prize.)
