With Mother’s Day around the corner, the Times News wants to hear from you: What’s the best advice your mom ever gave you? Was it funny, heartfelt, tough love or something that still guides you today?

Tell us the story behind the advice — and tell us a little about your mom for our Mother’s Day feature.

Share those little things that always made you feel better.

Submit your Mother’s Day tribute by 9 p.m. Thursday by email to tneditor@tnonline.com.

Please include:
