What does Mother's Day mean to you? Asked on Main Street

Mother's Day is so important because without my mom, I wouldn't be here, and my 3-month-old son Kyle wouldn't be here either. We're going to celebrate with a barbecue at the new Val Vista park.

It's a day when you celebrate everything that your mom has done for you and a day when you treat her like she's the queen.

For me it's the continuity of the special day. I celebrated my mother, and my children are going to celebrate me, and we'll go forth from there.

What I like about Mother's Day is our traditional brunch we have at my house for my mother, my mother-in-law, my grandmother-in-law, my children and my sisters and their families. We make it a truly special day.

As a parenting educator, I think mothers have the biggest impact on how the next generation turns out. I'm glad there is a day that honors that.
