Praise for she who raised you

Mother's Day is May 11, and the Simi Valley Acorn wants your mom to receive the recognition she deserves.

In 100 words or less, please write and tell us why your mother is special. Whether it's a poignant memory that you have, a small story you'd like to tell or just a few kind words for mom, your thoughts are important. Even if she's passed on, we'd still like to hear about her. But remember, no more than 100 words, please.

Write to the Simi Valley Acorn, 30423 Canwood St., Ste. 108, Agoura Hills, CA 91301, or e-mail simi@theacorn.com and be sure to include your name and hometown.

All submissions will be printed in the May 9 Acorn, but must be received no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 30.

Remember: your name, hometown, 100 words. Mom will love you!
