This Mother's Day, we spoke to some Maconites downtown who shared with us why they love their moms and what makes them so special.

MACON, Ga. — Throughout Central Georgia, mothers are being celebrated for many reasons. Photojournalist B.J. Patterson spoke to families in downtown Macon who shared why they love their moms and what makes them so special.

Whitney Harris says she loves her mom because she is 'inspirational'. 

"She's so compassionate," she said, "She's so sweet and that's what I love about her."

If you ask Caden Waterston, he would say he has the "best mom in Central Georgia!"

"She cares so much," he said, "and have gotten people out of rough times."

James Bryson said what makes his mom so special is that she's always there.

"She's a caring person," Bryson said. "She's always willing to step in and do what she needs to do for her children, even as adults."

As much as we may love our moms, sometimes they can get on our nerves too!

Gina Herring said her mom is aggravating because, "She always wants me to wear lipstick."

But she also appreciates the upbringings her mom has given her. 

"The best thing about my mom is that she taught me about Jesus," she said.

When asked, Drew Tosi says it only takes a few seconds to tell the world how awesome his mom is.

"My mom is selfless," he said, "She's giving and she is kind to others."

Bonny Dickinson says even though her mother is no longer with her, she left something very meaningful.

"My mom taught me what it means to love other people," said Dickinson. "She believed in me before I believed in myself."

If you're a little teary-eyed, then you're probably thinking about what makes you mom special too! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.
